An example of Warner Library's research guides

One of our current goals is to better serve Eastern’s distance learners by providing access to visual tutorials that assist them as they navigate the ins and outs of digital-age research. We currently have 17 slide tutorials, 14 research guides, and 36 videos in this growing collection.

To make our videos, we use a free screencasting software called Jing. After capturing our clips, we import the video into Apple’s iMovie editing software. Once uploaded into iMovie, we add narration, transitions, music, and additional features. The last step is uploading the completed video to the library’s YouTube channel.

We currently use Slideshare to host all slide tutorials and research guides which are made using PowerPoint and Publisher.

To view our videos, visit the Warner Memorial Library YouTube Channel or visit our Tutorials page to access all our visual tutorials, and stay tuned for more to come!
