Student Created Training Videos

2017 Student Worker Video Project- Library Policy- HMurphy

Lynn Library student workers created videos based on the 2017 Information Desk Handbook in preparation for the "Library Oscars." Library staff and students watched the videos in advance over the two-week period leading up to the "Oscars." When the big night arrived, we rolled out the red carpet and watched clips and unveiled the winning videos.

While some information contained in these videos may have changed, most of it is still useful. Enjoy!
