- About the authors
Professionals in the field of librarianship are creative when it comes to the delivery of information and instruction. If face-to-face options aren’t available, librarians look to digital means, and there are so many options out there—from podcasting, blogging, and edutubing. In this issue of Library Technology Reports (vol. 55, no. 5), the authors explore how these forms of digital media and others can help enhance information dissemination and library instruction. This report covers
- the process of creating a podcast, from content creation to the technical requirements, and why podcasting may be right for your library;
- flipped learning environments, the reasons why instructors should flip, and assessment activities;
- how to maintain a YouTube channel with an educational lens; and
- how blogging can be used as an effective and relevant educational tool.
