I didn’t do the production on this, but I did write the script and created a lot of the graphics. As a follow up, the Washington Post recently wrote an article about the programs that have come out of this Design Thinking process.
Respect the Book Drop, or How a 13 Year Old Taught Me to Make Vines
March 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment
In January I started asking my friend’s 13 year old about Vine. I have a Vine account, but I hadn’t played with it much, or gotten very far yet in thinking about how the Library might use it. So I asked Spencer to show me who he follows, and the videos he makes. Looking at […]

Kate, our College and Career librarian, does a great job of making the product sound awesome: We filmed at the Central Library’s 2nd floor Help Desk, using the field kit from Arlington Independent Media (AIM).

This is the first draft for a new series of videos I’m making for my library, called “Got Librarians?”: “Got Librarians? 1st Draft – Sorry I can’t embed it yet. Notes so far: I need to reshoot Nico – we were pressed for time and the framing is bad – and to shoot her around […]
