["Library Lens: Journal Locator" appears on screen, as the scene opens with a stereotypical young female librarian (cats eye glasses, hair in a bun, frilled collar) speaking directly to the camera]
VENDERHOOF: Welcome to the library instructional series. I am librarian Miss Venderhoof, I will be your guide. Today we will be learning about the Journal Locator.
[she adjusts her glasses]
VENDERHOOF: Say you were looking for articles on preventing the spread of the flu, and you find the perfect article in Annals of Internal Medicine ...
[she looks around, as the sounds of people talking can be heard while a black and white photo of people celebrating scrolls in the background]
VENDERHOOF: How would you then find the complete article? Why, you would search Journal Locator--
[she stops and puts a finger to her lips, while sternly looking at something off camera]
VENDERHOOF: [loudly] Shh!!
[the background noise stops, as the librarian calms down and resumes speaking directly to the camera]
VENDERHOOF: Uh, but what is that?
[an image of an old movie projector showing a screenshot of the "Journal Locator" website appears in the background]
VENDERHOOF: The Journal Locator provides links to full-text electronic journal articles, or information on the library's print holdings. The Journal Locator is best used if you have a journal in mind; if you have a subject in mind, it is best to use one of our databases first.
[cut to another shot of the librarian, as the image of a keyboard scolls in the background]
VENDERHOOF: How do you access Journal Locator? To access Journal Locator, go to the NYIT homepage.
[she looks behind her, as a screenshot of the homepage appears in the background]
VENDERHOOF: "NYIT dot edu slash library" ... and you will find the query box "Find Full Text Articles."
[the background image zooms in on the search box (although it is labelled "Find Full Text Journals")]
VENDERHOOF: Type in the name of the article you are looking for. So, let's type "Annals of Internal Medicine."
[the query appears in the search box in the background]
VENDERHOOF: And click on the "Search" button. You will get a list of all the databases that have this journal electronically, and information on the library's print copies if we have the hard copy.
[cut to a closeup of the results page ("1 record retrieved for the search. Title begins with 'annals of internal medicine'")]
VENDERHOOF: [in voice over] If you click on the print holdings, you will be taken to the library's online catalog, BearCat.
[cut back to the librarian speaking directly to the camera, as an image of the library's OPAC scrolls in the background]
VENDERHOOF: Click on the details for a complete listing of the library's print copies.
[cut to another shot of the librarian speaking directly to the camera]
VENDERHOOF: Several databases may have the electronic full text issue for a journal. Be sure to check the date ranges.
[an image of the results page appears in the background]
VENDERHOOF: For instance, "Annals of Internal Medicine" is only available until March 2006, in the ProQuest Research Library. So if you're looking for a more current issue, you would need to select a different database.
[cut to another shot of the librarian speaking directly to the camera, as she adjusts her glasses]
VENDERHOOF: The article you are looking for, "The Spread of the Flu," is found in Volume 151, Number 12, December 2009 issue.
[an image of the results page scrolls in the background]
VENDERHOOF: So select E-B-S-C-O Host, E-J-S. The next window will show you all the volumes and issues available, so select Volume 151, Number 12, and December 2009.
[another image of the results page scrolls in the background]
VENDERHOOF: The table of contents for that issue will open, and scroll through it until you find your article. Then click the title, "Assessing the Best Way to Prevent Spread of Influenza," and voila!
[cut to a screenshot of the article "Assessing the Best Way to Prevent Spread of Influenza"]
VENDERHOOF: [in voice over] There is your article ...
[cut back to the librarian speaking directly to the camera, as "Journal Locator to search for journals by title" appears in the background]
VENDERHOOF: Why should you use Journal Locator? To search for journals by journal title.
["Links to full text e-articles & information on the library catalog's print holdings" appears in the background]
VENDERHOOF: What does the Journal Locator include? Links to full text electronic journal articles and information on the library catalog's print holdings.
[cut to a screenshot from the library OPAC]
VENDERHOOF: [in voice over] How can you get more help? Submit a question to "Ask a Librarian", or call 516-686-3743.
[cut back to the librarian speaking directly to the camera]
VENDERHOOF: Or call 516-686-7657.
[cut to another shot of the librarian speaking directly to the camera]

From nyit.edu:
Jeanne Strausman (left) & Mahnaz Tehrani (right), librarians at NYCOM Medical library, presented a poster called "Through the Library Lens: Using Videocasts to Market Library Services" at the Medical Library Association Annual (MLA) Meeting on May 17th at Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The script was created by three medical librarians at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine Medical Library including Gerri Flanzraich, and the two mentioned above. The video was recorded by Steven Gaines of the Media Services Group, and produced by Stacy O'Connor of the Academic Technologies Group.
Different aspects of library services were highlighted in the videos such as how to access the library off campus, request materials and renew your books.
These videos were produced due to the of the explosion of YouTube and the popularity of videos and online resources utilized by NYCOM students.
Due to the success of the videos, the library is inspired to create more over the summer.
Stay tuned!
