I have certainly learned to use a lot of presentation tools in the LIT130 class! I had never made a brochure, flyer, Google presentation, or a video before. At first, I was uncertain as to why I would need to know how to do these things in a library. I have learned how useful these presentation tools can be. Making the Google presentation helped me to see that these tools can be used to help teach or demonstrate ways to use the library to patrons.
A person wishing to know how to use the online card catalog from home, for instance, can click on a handy video presentation link and learn how without needing to ask a librarian. This is useful for people who are doing things online, and also even for people who simply do not like to ask questions in person. Some people can be shy about asking for help, and finding a tool to help them on the computer may be easier for them.
Here is an article that shows how presentation tools can be helpful in developing a program at a library:

From doing our assignments, I have learned a lot about the importance of presentation tools, and I am glad that I know how to use them!
