Fri. April 3 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM in Santiam 3
OSU Libraries held a video contest in 2008, where a group of librarians invited OSU students to write and film a library orientation video for other students. We wanted to break down student misperceptions about the library and we hoped student-produced videos would offer a fresh take on the library. In the process of creating their videos students learned about fair use and copyright for music and images. Librarians learned about video production standards and what makes a good video for our audience. Participants will view and judge a library video and well show our award winning videos.
