Beyond Method #8

So even though I couldn't use any of the Desktop or Mac-based screencasting softwares--didn't have time to get our IT guy to go through the administrative stuff--I was able to use the cloud-based software (a great tool and where I think software is really headed). Screenr I found to be the easiest as well as the most reliable and I was able to upload some photos from our Summer programs to use as material. I was going to try and record something but that was a no-no as well with our IT stuff. Ironically, we've been using screencasting for a while now. Several of our computer classes have been converted to screencasts and at one time we developed a tool for people who needed help with overdrive. I could see us using this in the future for more and more technical applications regarding library services, especially as technology starts replacing analog resources and many patrons will need help with it. And although I don't know to what extent we will be using it, I can see it definitely serving a purpose.
