[ANU Pacific.Institute] RANU Library update - Library videos, streaming DVDs, Pacific guides and recent acquisitions

[Tom Foley]

Dear Pacific Institute members,

An update from the ANU Library.

Library Skills videos
ANU Library is continuing to develop resources to support online teaching and information discovery.  This includes video content that can be embedded within Wattle or used online independently;
ANU Library Skills video collection<https://vimeo.com/showcase/6713122>

We will be adding further video content to explain how to use the ANU Library catalogue, SuperSearch and other information access tools and tips.

Are there videos that ANU Library could develop to assist you in your teaching or research? Be they specifically Pacific focused or otherwise? Please do let me know if you have any requests or suggestions.

Streaming DVD content from the Library collection
In addition to creating video content there are some instances where we can load a DVD online and enable the content to be streamed for your teaching needs. An example of this delivery is available here<https://library.anu.edu.au/record=b6739258>.

If there is a video in the Library collection you would like to use in your teaching and would like us to investigate if we can make it available please do let me know.
