Library tutorials now on YouTube


The Proctor Library has a new YouTube channel to host video tutorials that highlight the resources and services of the Library. The channel is in its infancy at this point, but the plan is to continually add new videos to the channel. To begin watching the videos that are currently up and running, point your browser to the following link:

http://www.youtube.com/user/FCProctorLibrary

For optimal viewing results, open up videos in a separate tab or window by right-clicking on your mouse and "Open in New Window" or "Open in New Tab." When the video opens, click on the HD button at the bottom right of the YouTube viewing screen. Full screen viewing is not recommended in YouTube as a loss of video quality ensues.
