Chemical Engineering • LibGuideswere brought to WVU Summer 2008 • I copied template from another WVU librarian’s guide, with permission • My First LibGuide started in Fall 2009 http://libguides.wvu.edu/chemical_engineering • Contacted Chemical Engineering Professor at start of fall semester 2009 • Met with nine senior students • Goal: complete LibGuide and short tutorials aimed at Chem Eng 493 • Needed guidance and support as I learned Captivate and LibGuide
Student comments • Pace • Length of video • Content • Better to make several short videos than one or two long videos • Discusses what types of information they would find useful in the LibGuide and what should not be put into a video
Why the process is not where I planned • Underestimated the amount of time it would take me to learn and the immense amount of time it takes to do one video • Overestimated the amount of time I would have to devote to the videos • Needed to make allowances for the change in my learning and memorization abilities • Students are busy; time is precious
Assistance along the way • Students from Chemical Engineering and from the the Evansdale Library • Noel Kopriva, Evansdale Library Instruction Manager • David Roth, Evansdale’s Technology Library Associate • Marian Armour-Gemmen, Patent & Trademark Librarian • Their participation was invaluable and made this presentation possible.
