Description
Academic librarians support the efforts of teaching and learning at our institutions. Media librarians select and acquire media that support and enhance an instructors’ mission to accomplish their goals. Though the use of moving images for pedagogy is not new, wading through the myriad of online moving image websites is a daunting task. This paper will explore how one altruistic institution and a hard working librarian produced a shareable global open resource of a moving image/hypermedia hub. This community college media librarian’s hypermedia resource of moving image websites, which uses SpringShare’s Content Management System (CMS) as a platform, has continued to yield both very good ROI and SROI (social return on investment). There is no need to sign-in for off campus access since this resource is not password protected. This makes this college’s centralized moving image hypermedia hub an online and distance education open access resource for anyone who finds it. Some sites found within it will let you to download, almost all will allow you to share, embed, mashup and/or remix as one sees fit. Thus empowering instructors to assign these before or after class, be it a face-to-face, a hybrid, or a distance learning class. One can incorporate the multidisciplinary media found into departmental/program/faculty webpages and/or a learning management system (LMS). Since presenting this project at the 2012 IFLA conference in Helsinki, the comparative cost and usage statistics of this hypermedia hub with those of our video databases demonstrate that this open education resource (OER) continues to be an altmetrically value added source for diverse multidisciplinary academic and non-academic audiences.
