Videos and QR Codes in the Library


Hello Again!  This week's assignment is covering QR codes and video use in a library. 



Library YouTube Videos


As a librarian, it is important to inform your student and staff of new books and/or events that are being held in the library.  When I become I librarian, I would create a media club and have those students create videos of upcoming events, new books, and day to day life in the library.  I would like to get the teachers and administration involved as well.  I would like to ask a teacher to create a video on a difficult topic in their subject area and air it around testing time.  For example, the Biology End of Course exam in May 7th and I would create a video on solving Punnett Squares and Dihybrid Crosses.  I would also like the counselors to present informative on college deadlines.  

I enjoyed Bbmsmedia’s Channel because the videos are creative and entertaining.  These are some of the videos I enjoyed from the following libraries.

Animoto Book Trailer


Using Animoto.com was a fun way displaying pictures with a caption.  It is much easier than Microsoft PowerPoint.  I chose the novel Divergent by Veronica Roth.  It is one of my favorite books!  I chose it because the movie adaptation is coming out very soon and all of my students are anxious to see it.  


Here is my QR Code for the book trailer I've created for Divergent.

Divergent (Divergent #1) by

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, Tris also learns that her secret might help her save the ones she loves . . . or it might destroy her.


QR Codes

QR Codes are an interesting way to display links to an audience.  I've seen them used at the movie theater. I would use QR codes in a library by introducing students to new books that are coming out.  Also, by adverting events being held at the library.   This is where I would create QR codes with the video links that the media club has created.
