Documentation of the departmental instrumentation can be a challenge. Upgrades of software and institution IT upgrades can be problematic. This is a concern felt at smaller institutions where instruments are not always running daily. Also, documentation via the video provides a tutorial and a refresher for students and faculty alike. In addition to the IT updates, these videos can help trouble shoot problems that arise with upgrades. Students found it to be an interesting project and asked to expand it to the organic and research labs. Although such videos are available on the Internet, we found the custom preprared ones are more informative. We will show and discuss the work so far and our future plans.
