First year video posted on YouTube; portions in Second Life.

Creation of a short orientation video to be shown to UK101 students as the library orientation portion of the course The video "Saving Student Brian" received excellent reviews from students who watched the video as well as UK101 instructors. We knew that our PowerPoint was outdated, and we wanted to present students with something that was fun, informative, and to the point. The basic message of the video is that library staff are helpful and there are many libraries across campus for you to visit. With the video, we got that message across and hoped that (despite the occasional eye-rolling) it would be remembered at least and not lost in a sea of PowerPoints.
