My project is coming to a close, and I can see some ideas coming together in unexpected ways. I've taken a look at the library's vision statement: "to promote lifelong learning in a dynamic environment, inspiring critical thinking, inquiry and discovery."
In all my time spent in the library, I can't say that I've seen anything that looks like it's "inspiring critical thinking." I don't know that I've seen students inquiring or discovering anything more than the answers to their homework or maybe the right source for their paper due the next day. It's more of a culture of homework than a culture of learning.
I think I'll use that idea--that homework is what happens more than anything else at the library--as the centerpiece for my digital short.
