The Library is My Happy Place

Transcript of screencast Introduction My final vision project for LIBE 477 is a Destiny Discover Basics screencast that is aimed at students and staff in the Vancouver School Board who are not familiar with this search interface. This 4:28-minute-long video introduces Destiny Discover, shows how to access it, and demonstrates how to search for books. I have created a transcript of the screencast and embedded it in the video description box on YouTube for increased accessibility.

When considering a topic, I want to be sure to integrate my learning from this course and to produce something that will be helpful to me and others. In terms of a product, I would like to challenge myself and try presenting it using a new-to-me technology such as a podcast or an infographic. SAMR Model, Image Modified from Original by Lefflerd on Wikimedia Commons In the process of designing my project, I will endeavour to remember the SAMR model of using technology, and not simply use technology for technology's sake. I would like the technology I choose to use to be beneficial to the delivery of the end product. Narrowing down my Topic My library already has a  comprehensive website , so that's not an area of need at this ...
