LITE Bites

LITE (Library Instruction To Everyone) Bites are short videos created by Diane Mizrachi, reference/instruction librarian in the UCLA College Library. These videos were designed by Jeff Warden and his student production team with the help of Stephen Sherwin of College Library. The videos are for UCLA undergraduate students, and were created under the generous auspices of the UCLA Office of Residential Life (ORL). Each short video tells the tale of various UCLA Library services with a humorous, fun theme.
