This is the video + audio version of my 'Welcome to the Pollak Library' podcast. It's an MP4 file that should play in either iTunes or QuickTime.

Welcome to the Pollak Library podcasts here at Cal State Fullerton. I’m Rachael Clemens, a reference and instruction librarian and I’m also the liaison to the Dept. of Nursing. I’ve created these podcasts specifically for nursing students to help orient you to the library and make sure you know how to use our resources and services. These podcasts compliment the material I’ve posted on the Library Research Guide for Nursing website which is at: http://guides.library.fullerton.edu/nursing/
