Fostering Community Through Digital Storytelling: A Guide For Academic Libraries

摘要

Diaz and Fields achieve a tremendously helpful book detailing how to use tales in the world of academia using digitization. This book shows that using the ideas of storytelling using modern digital media can be a useful library marketing tool encouraging library usage.rnThis is a useful example of a cross-field collaboration. Anne M. Fields, Ohio State University English librarian, and Karen R. Diaz, Ohio State University librarian of instruction, attended a tales-by-digitization seminar at the Center for Digital Storytelling in Asheville, North Carolina. From that experience, they show how they were able to leverage their knowledge to improve their users knowledge of libraries. Using a range of various digital tools and software, computers, dvd burners, digital cameras, scanners, microphones, photo-editing software, and the like, they suggest some useful methods for creating attractive and interesting products. Presently, the Ohio State University Technology Enhanced Learning and Research Department has continuous seminars on instruction of tales by digitization.
