Digital stories are brief multi-modal digital videos, which libraries can use to engage their staff members with one another, to market library services and collections, to attract donors, and most importantly, to engage students and faculty with the library. Fields and Diaz address the "how-tos" of creating digital stories, as well as the challenges of building a digital storytelling program and creating partnerships across campus. Of primary interest to academic librarians and instructional technology staff.
