Directing students from a distance can be achieved through creating short tutorials using free screencasting software like Jing. These directional tutorials provide equitable library instruction to distance students, answering specific information needs at the point of need in an efficient manner. The tutorials can be embedded in subject guides, database pages, help pages, blogs, learning management systems, and used for internal training to help scaffold students' library research success.
