Library Remix: the Pop Culture Video Mash-up as an Instructional Aid in First-year Library Orientations

Pop culture has made its way into innovative teaching both inside and outside of the library as a way to engage students, prompt discussion, and initiate critical thinking. In this session, we will discuss the process of incorporating pop culture tools, especially the video mash-up, into library orientations for incoming students. We will also share activities, discussion questions, and approaches to using pop culture teaching tools to facilitate more energized, dynamic interactions with students who are new to the academic library.
