Video contest
The Cushing/Whitney Medical Library is sponsoring an online video contest.
Any University affiliate, excluding librarians, may participate by making a video
no shorter than 30 seconds and no longer than two minutes professing how essential
and vital the library’s “Yale Links” tool is to the Yale community.
Contestants must load the video to the Yale Links group on YouTube before midnight
on Nov. 26. By Dec. 3, a group of library judges will determine the top five
finalists based on creativity, unique portrayal of the importance of using “Yale
Links” in learning and research, and overall likeability. The top five
videos will be featured on the Medical Library’s web site for a campus-wide
vote that will be held Dec. 4-13. The entry with the most votes will win a video
iPod.
For complete information about the contest, visit the website at www.med.yale.edu/library/yalelinks/about.html.
