Partnering to Produce Information Literacy Videos for Online Students
The presentation will provide art librarians a guideline when creating online information literacy sessions for students and the tools to successfully partner with your Distance Education Department. The impetus is to ensure that you are reaching all your students, both face-to-face and online, through well-produced and educational videos. I will use three examples of The New School Libraries’ experiences with creating online sessions for undergraduate and graduate courses for the Parsons School of Design. With these examples, I aim to demonstrate how to effectively put these videos together and assess how beneficial they are to the community.

700’s: The Delaplaine Arts Center’s Etchison Davis Library
The 700’s and the Dewey Decimal system for Jean Davis, a retired librarian, was “particularly obtuse” and as she designed and built our comprehensive art library, she did so with both the subject and artist in mind. The “700’s” introduces the Delaplaine’s unique and coincidental collection of more than 3,000 titles that has grown to become one of Maryland’s largest free art libraries.
