"Creating Next Generation Library Tours: Learning about the Newman Library through Portable Technologies" Discusses the creation of a new library tour for the Newman Library, Baruch College, CUNY. Tour incorporates peer-to-peer learning and portable technologies, all appealing to the millennial or tech savvy student. Although the library tour consists of a situational video on two students visiting the library and Captivate tutorials, freshmen (target audience for the project) were asked to participate in a contest to create a 90-second video sharing a useful library tip as inspired by the situational video. These student videos are indicative of what information about the library, its services and resources is relevant or deemed useful. Since students will be allowed to select individual tour components to view, this will also give us information on what information is relevant or useful to students. All tour components are loaded to a library account created in Youtube and are downloadable to portable devices, ideal for many students at an urban commuter college who lead busy lives often juggling school, work and home.
