The mission of the Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is to provide a forum for discussion of activities, programs, and problems of instruction in the use of libraries; to contribute to the education and training of librarians for library instruction; to promote instruction in the use of libraries as an essential library service, and to serve as a channel of communication on library instruction between the ALA divisions, ALA and ACRL committees, state clearinghouses, Project LOEX, other organizations concerned with instruction in the use of libraries, and members of the Association.

How do you organize your online video content?

  • 1.  How do you organize your online video content?

    Posted Feb 25, 2021 08:56 AM
    My library has dozens of videos on research, writing, and citation (broad categories) ranging in length from 1 minute to 1 hour. Because we continue to grow our video library with everything from mini-tutorials on using a database to full-length presentations, we need an effective way to organize them.

    Ideally, users would be able to sort through the videos like you would on LinkedIn Learning or similar databases, filtering by the length of the video, subject, year, and so on. Adult learners want content that supports their needs in the moment, so they don't want to wade through pages and tabs of links that may or may not be relevant.

    How do you store your video content so that it is easily searchable and discoverable?

    Thank you!
