Abstract
Many academic library Web sites offer online “tours” to provide basic orientation of their collections and services. However, these tours are often merely photos, floor plans, or written descriptions. In 1999, the library at California State University, Fullerton sought to improve its own Web site orientation, by using more engaging Web technologies; namely, streaming video and interactive tutorials. A project of videotaping a full‐motion, narrated tour of the library, and then placing it on the Web site as streaming video segments, was undertaken. Additionally, interactive tutorials – quizzes written in JavaScript so as to “reply” to user prompts – were added. This article will describe the process of creating this project, available in its completed form at: http://www. library.fullerton.edu/tour
