When looking for quick help from the library, students can check out the library’s YouTube channel, which features many tutorials to help students get quick and easy assistance with a library resource or service. Just like many “how-to” tutorials often found on YouTube, the tutorials on the library’s YouTube channel are designed to show library patrons how to use the library’s resources and services, which range from searching for sources such as books and articles to making Research Coach appointments.
These tutorials are created by various library team members and demonstrate how to search databases for articles, how to find books in the library’s catalog, how to request an Interlibrary Loan, and much more. Many of the tutorials feature helpful hints to make the user’s experience in using the resource or service easier and as simple as possible. With the purpose of providing up-to-date tutorials for students, the tutorials are frequently updated in order to reflect the look and function of the library’s resources and services. Therefore, students can easily follow along with the tutorial while performing the steps themselves.
Whether students need a reminder of how to find an article or book or they need to learn something new, these tutorials are quick and easy aids that are easily accessible from either on campus or off campus.
