Librarians Do Gaga!

Do you think of librarians as grim, dour relics of a pre-Web era? Sarah Wachter, graduate student at the University of Washington Information School, set out to change that perception and promote the Big 6 method of teaching information literacy with her "Librarians Go Gaga" video which parodies Lady Gaga's "Pokerface."

Enjoy the video and remember, you can always "...use our catalog. Don't forget the databases" via the Richland College Library Web site or drop by the Reference Desk and visit with one of your energetic, highly skilled, search savvy information professionals. We'll "...blow your mind, show you how to find."

One afternoon we decided to ask some of our students "What do you love about the Richland College Library?" Their answers provided a remarkably rich summary of what the library has to offer -- at least from a student's point of view.

We prepared the YouTube video as part of a tour and presentation we put together for the Richland College Academic Council.

Making the video turned out to be a lot of fun for both students and "film crew." Thanks to Alice Fulbright who served as "emcee" and Gary Duke (yours truly) who operated the camera and did the editing (with his trusty Mac, of course).
