BadgerLink Tutorial

I made a short (5 min) video to show 7th grade students the basics of searching and printing magazine and newspaper articles via BadgerLink. I split it up into two sections, one for EbscoHost's Student Research Center, and one for ProQuest's newspaper database.

The lessons went well, they used the new USB headphones and had no issues. No browser crashes either, which was a relief!

I'll likely redo this video as there were some things I missed. Eighth graders will be using BadgerLink for an upcoming research project, and I think I'll have two separate vids, one for SRC and one for ProQuest.

Note: I redid this video and chopped it up into 3 sections, see the 8th Grade Research Project post above for the links
