Videos and QR Codes in the Library

These are the most helpful videos for students:





These are the videos that students would like the best:



How to use videos to promote the library?

One of the best ways to reach to the community is by using videos. A benefit from using videos is that every student that has access to the internet will be able to learn what the library has to offer. Librarians can use videos to train people on different things. Also to teach students about different things like how to research, how to manage certain websites. Etc. 

I would like to share a book trailer of the following book:






















Martina the beautiful cockroach doesn't know coffee beans about love and marriage. That's where her Cuban family comes in. While some of the Cucarachas offer her gifts to make her more attractive, only Abuela, her grandmother, gives her something really useful: un consejo increíble, some shocking advice. "You want me to do what?" Martina gasps. At first, Martina is skeptical of her Abuela's unorthodox suggestion, but when suitor after suitor fails the Coffee Test, she wonders if a little green cockroach can ever find true love. Soon, only the gardener Pérez, a tiny brown mouse, is left. But what will happen when Martina offers him café cubano?
After reading this sweet and witty retelling of the Cuban folktale, you'll never look at a cockroach the same way again.


Scan the QR code to view the trailer:









How would I like to start using QR codes in my library? 

When I started researching for how to use QR codes in the library; I discovered that there are many ways to use them. An example I can think of is to create book trailers, another one could be to put a QR code next to the research designated area in the library, and there students can find QR codes that will contain information about plagiarism, how to find information on databases and how to research correctly. I plan to have a comic section in my library; there I can have QR codes that will take the students directly to fun and appropriate jokes online. Nowadays technology is so advanced and believe it or not we have students that have the latest technology available.
