Well written and illustrated presentation on the differences between scholarly and popular serials. It is short enought to keep the attention of students while opening up opportunities to explain more about the gray areas mentioned.

This is a nice, easy to follow video. The length of the video is appropriate. It does an excellent job of reviewing key points to consider when reviewing popular vs. scholarly materials. This is an effective resource to use when working with students.
Technical Remarks:
Easy to use. No technical difficulties encountered. Close captioning for ADA compliance would make this tutorial outstanding.

Good discussion of source material, could be strengthened by consideration of commercial and educational sites, which are not peer reviewed, but many students will feel should be authoritative. However, this would make excellent material to provide the basis of a seminar to promote discussion and understanding of scholarly work.
Technical Remarks:
Very easy to use

Topic (Magazine vs. Journal) was explained in a succinct and easy to understand manner. High school students would greatly benefit.

I use video in most of the library instruction classes that I do. I have found it to be very effective and engaging for students. It is very short and helps to break up the class time. I also try to bring actual print periodicals to pass around to enforce the video. Highly recommended!

Nice video that uses simply, engaging graphics. The content covers key issues students should know about popular versus scholarly sources.
Technical Remarks:
The video displayed without problems. One consideration is that captioning would make content available to students with hearing impairments.
