SJ-night for web

Nine videos cover various topics such as selecting a research topic, peer review, evaluating resources, and Wikipedia. The videos are brief but provide good information and they are generic so they can be easily used by anyone. I especially like the video on Wikipedia. It explains how the content is created and discusses the pros and cons of using Wikipedia.

Strengths

Easy to use and very general. Short and to the point. They do not mention products specific to a particular library.

Recommendations for use

Have students view the videos on their own prior to discussing the topic in class. Faculty could ask students to verify the accuracy of the Wikipedia content using other sources. They could also expand on the content.
