A Very Funny Library Tour!

Students really script the best library tours. Here's a great one from University of Minnesota....



I don't think this is being used by the library, but it gives me an idea. It didn't have all the content that a librarian would want it to have as a library tour, but it has delightfully wry humor. So, a librarian who discovers something like this on YouTube by one of their own students might contact the creator and ask them if they would be willing to edit their video and create a second version that the library could point to.

This is the essence of where we need to go at my school--leveraging other peoples's content--because we are just too short staffed to create enough relevant content and keep it updated. The students will do it for fun, and they will produce things that other students watch for fun. It won't seem like work to them. But it will take some collaboration, because we'll want to be sure certain points are made.
