learning something new and sharing as I go
My first videos in my new work-from-home basement office were a bit rushed, so I didn't have much time to work out all of the details before recording the research sessions for my students. While the content was okay, I wasn't happy with the quality of the audio and video. I watched a few YouTube... Continue Reading →
Today my son and I experimented with his Kaskey Kids Football Guys field fabric for potential use as a green screen. The results look promising and may open up some more options for my videos. The fabric seems to work fine as a green screen in Screencast-o-matic. I just need to combine a few of... Continue Reading →
Last week I added my Microsoft Teams chat link to my Libguides profile box. Since this required some different code than just adding a Teams chat link to a general guide, I thought I would share it here. Maybe you'll find it helpful. The code <style> #teamschat { background: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #545AAA; border-radius:... Continue Reading →

To help faculty and students connect directly to their librarian, we have added individual Teams chat links to our subject librarian and archivists directory. I have also incorporated...

This week I had the new experience of teaching with Microsoft Teams. While I have given webinars on many occasions to both student and librarian audiences, this was the first time I taught an instruction session to 120 students across three on-campus classrooms simultaneously from my office. Background The Business Cluster is the core educational... Continue Reading →
Talk about a role reversal! Instead of thinking of our library users as personas, I have become a persona myself. This semester my business students have been researching the outdoor recreation industry. For their third project of the semester, the ~400 students did a marketing consulting project for the Bailey's Mountain Bike Trail System. Quite... Continue Reading →
