The library provides access to information and resources while also educating students on information literacy. It aims to be a producer of content created by the campus community in addition to purchasing content. The library's mission involves direct teaching of students with a focus on information literacy as well as supporting learning in ways other departments cannot. It assists students in developing their own content and evaluating source quality and reliability, moving beyond printed books to include student-created podcasts, videos, and other media.

Reimagining the Library in the Wake of Technology Terra Jacobson
- 2. How do you feel about technology and what you offer your students in your library?
- 3. We envision a library that is not just a purchaser of content, but also a producer of content that is created by our students, faculty, and staff.
- 4. The library has a direct teaching mission to students centering on information literacy but also providing learning support in ways that other departments cannot.
- 5. Provides access Educates students, staff and faculty Expands the notions of information literacy Acts as a platform for community dialog
- 6. Assisting students in developing their own content. Helping them recognize quality (or lack of) in sources Moving from Books (Print or Electronic) to other forms of communication for primary content (podcasts, short films, presentations, instructional videos)

Editor's Notes
- I feel we never know enough I feel like its hard to keep up Always need more SKILLS GAPS
- This includes supporting online learning & hybrid learning in more dynamic ways. It also includes flexible space where individuals and groups can work in creative ways. And additional space with student priority for group work.
- Provides access to channels of communication where our students can connect to the community and larger world Educates students, staff and faculty to the use of technology and to appropriate approaches that create positive dialog around issues and ideas. Expands the notions of information literacy from classroom-focused to community-focused incorporating digital literacy and meta literacy skills. Acts a a platform for community dialog by hosting and preserving content for future access.
- Producing films, podcasts etc and classifying and making this content findable Information and digital literacy skill sets Exposure and access to new sources and encourage use (acceptance from faculty) – changing use.
- Sharing content and making connections We rove with iPads – few questions – but the visibility is great! BLOG POSTS – show links and info that shows up on social media SITE: 35,000/month and 50,000 home page visits (NEWS) 900 views/month (Research) 1000/month Facebook 300 views per week (900 per month) Twitter 600 views per week (9-10 links followed/week) *Show records for podcasts and videos You Tube : 2600 per month Example of answering question to Twitter. @MVCC PROBLEMS
- Examples of making these searchable Using Itunes and feeds (faculty interest!) All of these make our content ready for the classroom even if you cannot attend our events.
- Items to check out. MVCCCirculation@gmail.com Max070595
- Portable Content Creation Mobile media labs make the portable creation of content possible. Students, Staff and Faculty need options to create on the go. Now the simpler it can be the better, but the content itself needs to be of a high quality. Not always convenient to stay in the library. Many students use iPads from our library – Language classes, but sometimes they need to create instructional videos Lecture capture equipment includes: Laptop, tripod, webcam and microphone. We have purchased 3 of these kits to check out from reserve (about 6 time per month). Great for faculty wanting to flip the classroom. Speech practice
- Media Production Stations The Media Lab could consist of several PC (64-bit) workstations, and several Apple workstations. This would give students a large choice on the software they have access to. The Apple iMac would contain iMovie for video editing, and the PC workstations would contain Windows Live Movie Maker (this must be installed separately but at no cost). The iMac would also contain other software, such as Garage Band for creating music or editing audio. Audacity, another audio recording software, could be installed on Windows machines and the Macs. Screen capture software on both systems, such as Camtasia or Screencast-O-Matic, would be a beneficial resource depending on the student’s project. Blender and Sketchup are both free software available for Mac and PC that allow for the creation of 3D objects. Sketchup in particular is recommended, as it is designed for the non-tech-savvy users looking to do more 3D work. If these computers are going to be available for editing pictures and for design work, Adobe software (including Lightroom and Photoshop) should be made available. Other software for editing pictures includes GIMP and Paint.NET, but neither provide a comparable level of functionality when comparing it to the Adobe Suite. Purchasing the Adobe Creative Cloud would provide access to all the software, including Premiere Pro and After Effects for the more advanced video editor. Depending on preference, some computers can be equipped with more advanced software (such as Adobe Suite) and some can be reserved for basic editing. Both Mac and PC computers should be equipped with the latest versions of all plugins, including Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Adobe Shockwave Player, Java, Microsoft Silverlight, and QuickTime. In addition, computers should have a reliable video player installed such as VLC Player. We would not recommend installing Microsoft Office on these computers in an effort to save them for students working on media projects. Kits to check out Students should have access to media kits that consist of audio and video equipment that they can check out from the library. Each kit would contain a small HD digital video camera (with SD cards), a USB cable (to transfer footage to a computer), a small tripod, and a small condenser shotgun microphone. The cameras should also have a USB port to allow students to remove their files without removing the SD cards. Based on reading the faculty feedback provided and from our own experience, this should be enough equipment for most students to produce a quality video project. Space Students in focus group wanted places to practice and film speeches for class. Req. for some of our COM classes. And Rooms to film and use the equipment we checkout.
- Discuss what options have been suggested Optional items for checkout can include a collapsible/portable Chroma key backdrop, a softbox lighting kit, a Wacom tablet, a Go Pro Camera with accessories, a digital still camera (for pictures), a digital field recorder, and additional microphones, such as wireless lavaliere microphones, and an easy-to-use USB condenser microphone for audio recording.
