Screentastic! Using Screencasts in Libraries

What: Screencasts can be a powerful tool for all types of libraries. Come learn how to design and produce killer screencasts for staff and public use, whether your targeted audience is a single person or an entire community.

Screencasting involves the capturing of a computer screen recording often accompanied by an audio narrative. They are short video tutorials that introduce information in an easy-to-create and easy-to-view format. They are excellent tools for demonstrating software, teaching computer skills, and visually sharing step-by-step navigation of websites and databases.

Check out this article from American Libraries magazine to learn more about screencasts before the program.
