Tour the library from the comfort of your own couch

We've created a Video Tour of the library for the benefit of users who haven't had the benefit of a library orientation and/or students taking classes online that may not come to campus regularly. This video, posted on the right column, will introduce you to the library and our resources and services.

We plan on creating more of these informative videos and other media turoials in the future. The videos and tutorials are permanently posted on the library Media Resources page. The Brandon library videos are also available on our YouTube channel.
