As online, hybrid, and HyFlex modalities have become essential in today’s world, research and education efforts must continue to grow and adapt. Not only do faculty and researchers need to improve programs, but they also need to meet the needs of a diverse set of learners with a variety of interests to ensure STEM fields are accessible. Librarians continue to be in the unique position to support such instruction efforts by providing the right resources needed to bolster research and education. In particular, video is becoming essential to the user experience. How is your library using video resources to support and accelerate STEM education and research at your institution?
