There I was, looking for something and finding something else. Isn't that the fun part of online searching and browsing? Anyway, what I found was a video tutorial by Eric Baker, a librarian at Auraria Library in Colorado. In under 5 minutes he introduces viewers to Boolean searching with examples, explanations, and ... entertainment. http://vimeo.com/50840083 His personality comes through very clearly. No one will be sleeping when he's teaching. Seeing this reminded me of my first dabblings into creating video tutorials about a year ago. Mine are not nearly as animated or exciting. I am rethinking the whole idea of how and what I would do with this medium for maximum impact.
Is anyone else playing around with video tutorials? If you are, would you be interested in chatting about your ideas and experiences with other school librarians? Let me know!

NYSCATE seeking proposals for conference
The organizers of the 11th Annual Hudson Valley NYSCATE Conference (http://www.nyscate.org/conferences.cfm?subpage=93) are looking for RFPs. The conference is Saturday, March 2, 2013. They are asking we submit RFPs online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L33FYXL. The RFP does not require a lot of information. Deadline for RFPs is this Friday, November 16th. It's a great way to give some PD and get some credits too.
