Military and Veteran Resources

Multimedia and Social Media

What's multimedia? For library resources, multimedia is "A combination of two or more digital media (text, graphics, audio, animation, video, etc.) used in a computer application or data file, such as an online encyclopedia, computer game, or Web site (example: A 2 Z 4 Birders Online Guide). Multimedia applications are often interactive. Synonymous in this sense with digital media." (Online Dictionary of Library and Information Science)
