how to do author, title, and subject searches in the online catalog)
-share the "production" information regarding your PowerPoint as you move from
slide to slide, rather than the content itself (for example, rather than teaching us how
to search the OPAC, walk us through the creation of your PowerPoint--why you
chose the graphics that you did (clip art, digital photos, etc.); the source for your
video clip, whether you chose to embed it or link it; point out the effects you chose to
use and why; point out the transition that you chose to use between slides and why;
discuss whether and why or why not you chose to include sound narration).
3. Digital photos: Using a digital camera, take several library related photos. View them.
