We are updating and creating additional new video tutorials over time. These will be posted on the library homepage: https://rctc.libguides.com/library/  In the middle of the library homepage are Research Guides and by Subject Guides, you will be able to find video tutorials that may pertain to you. Also check under Course Guides for additional course specific materials (example: FYEX).

We also have video databases that have short tutorials that you may want to add to your course material. As an example, under our “How To” Guides, Plagiarism Guide: Faculty Resources, we have videos on Cyber Literacy, Information Ethics in the Digital Age, and Intro to Information Literacy: https://rctc.libguides.com/c.php?g=570774&p=4000854
