Description
Summary:McCallum and Burt-Nicholas discuss the The College of DuPage library's project to make its nearly 300-item anatomical model collection accessible to anatomy and physiology students over summer 2020. This project began when the college courses and student services went virtual due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. In the absence of access to the physical models collection, library media lab staff created images and recorded videos of anatomy and physiology faculty as they taught important model features. The library media lab supervisor was instrumental in designing a plan to capture photos and video with studio equipment from the media lab and to host the content on a third-party media platform that restricted access to the college community. This allowed faculty to focus on content expertise, while technical processes were handled by library media lab staff in consultation with college IT and instructional design experts.
