ScreencastsThis is a featured page

For the sake of consistency, lets call the Camtasia movies 'Screencasts'. In our last meeting we came up with a couple of ideas for screencasts to go on the library inductions website, and concurrently throughout the library website. These are:
What's available online
Searching for journals
Placing holds
Understanding shelfmarks (better on main library website)
Searching databases

Please add more if you think of them.

I spoke with Linda in her JIBS capacity. She believes we will need to check with database providers (ie. Thomson Scientific, Emerald, etc) if we want to do screencasts that use screenshots of their products. This will not matter for stuff just shown in house or in teaching, just openly available material on the internet. She also mentioned doing the same for the catalogue, but I've talked to Laurence about this and we've noted that well, the catalogue is freely viewable anyway so it shouldn't be an issue. I'll contact SirsiDynix to see if I can get a reply.

Sophie has pointed out some BUCS movies:

"In my explorations the other day I found some examples of BUCS Camtasia training. I thought you might like to take a peek. They've split their tutorials into small sections for the main functions of the software (Endnote) and have narrated it."

When secure electronic delivery of ILLs kicks in I think it would be a good idea to have a screencast explaining how to make online requests and another showing how to download and print from the emails users will be sent. I think this is one for the future though.
