4. About Clemson & the Clemson Libraries 19,800 FTE 1,880 teaching faculty 14 teaching librarians New Instruction & Outreach Team http://www.flickr.com/photos/rbowen/1149317580/

5. Background Clemson Connect (previously LIB100) is a zero-credit course Required for all incoming freshmen and transfer students Library segment was one of 4 total, all required

6. Previous Approach Face-to-face workshops provided in first couple of years More than 200 workshops in the fall semesters Transitioned after decision to increase upperclassmen/ faculty focus

7. First Attempt Created 5 tutorials from workshop main concepts: What Does the Library Have for You? – 0:51 Starting Your Research – 2:20 Evaluating & Citing Your Sources – 2:02 How to Find a Book – 1:54 How to Find an Article – 2:21

9. Feedback Survey sent in spring 2013 to evaluate tutorials from fall 2012 10% response rate – approx. 500 of 4,400 former students responded Chance to win iTunes gift card

10. Rate the following aspects of the videos…

11. Rate the videos’ relevance to your library and information needs…

12. What do you remember about the library tutorial videos you watched as part of LIB100?

13. Almost 17% responded “very little” or “nothing” or mentioned something that was not part of the library segment. “It would be more helpful to be able to have the information (videos) online where you can watch when you need them, not watch them when you don't need them and forget. We have so much to do, let us do it when we need it or make it fun.”

20. Where we were: Face-to-face drop-in workshops Relatively successful in fall 2012 Scheduled as 50 minutes long Variety of dates and times based on class schedules Evaluation feedback request Distance students Convenience Grad Student Boot Camp Why we moved some sessions online

21. What was different about online sessions? Shorter Find It Fast sessions were 15 minutes, others were 20-30 minutes Activities required more feedback from students Needed to explain classroom setting More team teaching Transition to online Started small, just a few librarians Planned specialized workshops Offered “Find It Fast” sessions

22. Online Classroom Tour – Adobe Connect http://connect.clemson.edu/culibrary

23. Recording Getting feedback Following up Online Classroom Considerations

24. Online Classroom Techniques “Arrange the chairs” Consider your content Prep your browser Narrate the pauses Trust the technology

25. Results Attendance was limited – similar to face-to-face sessions Attendees were engaged Decided to limit future online and face-to-face workshops
