The document discusses the creation of vernacular video tours of university libraries for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean international students. It describes collaborating with students and staff to translate scripts and film the videos. An international student association coffee hour was held to promote the videos, with 100-150 attendees viewing them. Challenges included technical issues, funding, and coordination. Lessons learned centered around filming efficiently, using professionals, and coordinating with language specialists. Collaboration was identified as key to the project's success.
