In this pecha kucha screencast presentation, AAU students will learn from a librarian's perspective on the importance of research in their business and company information related projects. 

This “Library Research PSA” audio series is an extension and revision of the in-person Research Strategy Workshop offered by the AAU Library. When listening through this series, students will...

• Learn about the nature of research;

• Learn basic search strategies in the context of relevant AAU databases;

• Recognize ways of critical thinking involved in effective evaluation of information.

In this final project, the multimedia learning technique of pretraining is proposed as a way to mitigate cognitive processing demands during library instruction of database search concepts. A pretraining segment intervention as part of the existing Research Strategy Workshop offered by AAU librarians is proposed and pilot tested here. 

In this video series, AAU EAP students will watch librarian-created content on what their AAU Library can do to support their creative work. The core message in each video and of the series as a whole: "Libraries can provide inspiration for your creative work as aspiring art and design professionals."
