When asked to write a research essay, find credible and accurate scholarly sources, or balance academic responsibilities effectively, students often don’t know where to begin.
The Learning Commons – a collaborative partnership between The Writing Department, York University Libraries, Learning Skills Services, and Career Services – hopes to significantly increase students’ awareness of the wide range of academic supports on campus, and has produced a series of five, fun informational videos highlighting specific resources.
Kent Murnaghan, Research and Instruction Librarian, partnered with Learning Technology Services (LTS) and undergraduate York students, to produce the five videos. The Access to Success video series takes viewers on a virtual tour of The Learning Commons Hub, introduces the online chat service ‘Ask: Chat with a librarian’ and Writing Centre, and features Library Research and Learning Skills supports available at York.
