Information & Leisure Series
“The *Information and Leisure* video series descends into leisure as a setting for information phenomena. There are four parts that can be watched independently or in order. Part 1 is a general introduction to information behavior as a research area in Library and Information Science (LIS) and as something people *do*. It also explains the related concept of “information practice” and provides vivid examples from the scholarly literature.
Part 1: Information Behavior (August 7th, 2021)
Part 2 presents a theoretical framework of leisure, the Serious Leisure Perspective (SLP) which is the life’s work of sociologist Robert A. Stebbins. (The SLP is applied in the remaining episodes as a means to identify informational patterns.) The second episode is designed for viewers within LIS and beyond, such as students of Leisure Studies.
Part 2: The Serious Leisure Perspective (August 10, 2021)
Part 3 goes deeper into hobbies and discerns five distinct types. Then, by taking a socio-cognitive approach, informational patterns within the five hobby classes are examined.
Part 3: Information In Hobby Social Worlds (September 6th, 2021)
Finally, in Part 4 (forthcoming), *time* is recognized as a force that weaves hobbies and information together. The fourth episode is also a case study of information behavior and resources in the hobby of gourmet cooking. After viewing all episodes, one should be better able to conceptualize information in a leisure domain.” -BIBBLEium (LIS Videos)

What Makes This Paper Great?
“The *What Makes This Paper Great?* series focuses on landmark papers of Library and Information Science. After a paper is introduced, I present its origins, context, structure, highlights and ultimate impacts. Each video concludes with reflections on the strengths (great qualities) of the paper; insider stories and references are included. This series was inspired by music educator, Rick Beato’s series *What Makes This Song Great?*.” -BIBBLEium (LIS Videos)
Tiny Video Series
“Every episode in the *Tiny Video* series is between 15 and 30 seconds in duration and illustrates an idea in Library and Information Science. Though tiny (in time), they are meant to have a big impact on curiosity. Most of these snippets are drawn from longer videos, here at my YouTube Channel (BIBBLEium); if so, links are provided within the Tiny Videos so that viewers can learn more. All the tiny videos are also available as GIFs (without audio) on my website [http://www.jennahartel.info/gifs.html]. Please feel free to use the Tiny Videos in lectures, course websites, and correspondence with students. Enjoy!” -BIBBLEium (LIS Videos)
