"I Like Work: It Fascinates Me"

“I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.”

On-Demand Tutorial Analytics With another month down, I ran my LibGuides analytics for the on-demand video tutorials. Last month, I didn’t send out a company-wide email to highlight a featured tutorial because I was curious to see how many people/views we’d get organically. Turns out about half. In the last month, the on-demand video tutorials received exactly half the views as the previous two months. This just helped to solidify the fact that we must keep top-of-mind because with so much going on at work (and in the world) many don’t automatically think to look at the library website as often.

This last month was the end of our Fiscal Year, so my boss asked me to create a few charts. I only started uploading the video hyperlinks as assets to LibGuides in June, so my information was just from June through the end of September. But it’s still nice to see which platforms people are interested in and how much of an impact the company-wide emails make.


Introduction to InterLibrary Loan Tutorial The featured tutorial for this month is Introduction to Interlibrary Loan. As soon as I set the email out, someone caught a spelling error in my video. The horror! He was very nice about it and I’m honestly glad that he let us know. I went in to correct it right away. This month, I also changed up the look of the featured tutorial page on LibGuides. Before, I had a header image that staff could click to view the video. However, I thought that since all the other pages have a square video player, people might be used to that layout and would get confused with the header. So we’ll see in a month what the results are.
