Video Tutorials

These video tutorials were created as an experiment by the librarians and the Media Cloisters to help users with various aspects of research.  The videos are in .avi and .mov formats.

The library homepage has changed its look, but procedures for doing the tasks below are still the same.   Follow instructions under each link below to use these tutorials until we redo them. 

Any comments about technical aspects of the tutorials should go to Baynard Bailey, babailey@vassar.edu. Any comments about content should go to Kathy Kurosman, kakurosman@vassar.edu.
