Abstract

The aim of this study is using content analysis to: (1) examine how cyberbullying is addressed in YouTube videos in school settings; (2) identify the core messages of the videos to infer the roles of school librarians in addressing cyberbullying. Preliminary findings on 40 YouTube videos show that most videos successfully indicated cyberbullying behaviors, impact on victims’ emotions and appropriate measures toward cyberbullying, but less have addressed the reasons people became bullies, and the self-protected strategies. The involvement of libraries/librarians is rarely mentioned in the videos. Further detail descriptive statistics and narrative analysis will be provided in the next step. This study may provide an overview of how school cyberbullying is told in YouTube, and have suggestions on applying videos to school cyberbullying instruction. Also, the possibility of librarians’ involvement in school cyberbullying is expected to be added to the field of library and information as a new insight.
