From a post this morning on the Two-Way (the NPR News Blog) - via their Twitter Feed, @nprnews.

YouTube has a new Reporter’s Center, which includes videos about reporting for reporters. I’m particularly found of this video about fact checking from PolitiFact’s editor Bill Adair, but you’ll find lots of other great videos here on topics ranging from Conducting a Good Interview by Katie Couric and Telling a Good Story by NPR’s Scott Simon.

A recent post on OhioLINK’s What’s New blog highlights the 10 Most Popular Digital Videos from the Digital Video Collection, a collection of  “more than 2,300 digital, educational videos that you can stream or download from your desktop to show in class, link to from course pages and utilize for research.”

Check out some of these videos and find some favorites!

The library blog has a new calendar feature in which events can be easily posted and browsed.

Check out the upcoming events and current displays in the library, including today’s presentation by Betty Hollow at 3 pm in the Alden Friends Room 319:

One Cool Bobcat: Vernon R. Alden and the Push for Diversity in the Sixties and Seventies.

Alden Library will commence its 40th Anniversary this week with with a reception from 4 to 7 pm Friday, May 15 on the library’s 4th floor.

There are also historic displays around the building, as well as some virtual photo displays online and a video.

Vernon Alden will be in attendance at the reception. Please come help us celebrate!
