00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:08.240
the class I was teaching is a 500 level
class on uh War documentaries we spent

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:13.559
the entire semester looking at various
documentary representations of various

3
00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:18.520
military conflicts the library space was
pretty crucial in the sense that it

4
00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:21.680
offered not only a place to do the
project but a place to kind of figure

5
00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:25.400
out what the project was going to be I
want to do a collaborative multimedia

6
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:29.039
project I am going to be like you
creating the project and learning how to

7
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.759
do it and we are going to come up with
the idea together we are going to you

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.559
know fumble through it together we're
going to learn the technology together

9
00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:39.040
we're going to shape it and we're all
going to be doing the same thing each of

10
00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.760
us in the class took a war in which
Americans had been involved a conflict

11
00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:49.879
um sometimes they were Undeclared we had
to collect some DVDs we had to get

12
00:00:49.879 --> 00:00:53.640
archival materials so the way the
project was structured we had three

13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:59.719
layered tracks we had um image we had
sound and then we had text and so it was

14
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.119
a three screen installation everybody
working on essentially three separate

15
00:01:04.119 --> 00:01:07.960
films one that shows representations of
death one that shows representations of

16
00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:12.040
Technology uh and one that shows text to
kind of Orient the viewer putting those

17
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.200
three separate films together to have a
simultaneous experience this project

18
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.600
really uh opened my eyes to all the
possibilities especially in Hunt Library

19
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:25.119
not just for research in the traditional
sense but for the places that research

20
00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:29.280
can go in the future took the standard
toolbox and it just kind of you know

21
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.079
kicked it to a whole other level gave me
a lot of appreciation for the Hands-On

22
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.320
aspect of teaching you begin to
understand a little bit more about what

23
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.079
goes behind the making of meaning
through media without that group of

24
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.320
people from all over the parts of the
University uh this project probably

25
00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:49.000
wouldn't have come together and I think
that collaboration between students and

26
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.719
Librarians and faculty will Define the
21st century academic experience people

27
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.399
were going to see it outside of the
class that it was for more than a grade

28
00:01:57.399 --> 00:02:01.320
things that might have once been tucked
away in essays and journals can now get

29
00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:05.680
out much more easily and become Sparks
for discussion just think about the

30
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.760
potential for this as the kind of
project that can really give meaning to

31
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:16.640
a 21st century library and to a 21st
century classroom this is the next

32
00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:19.840
experience for

33
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.080
sure
