Week 18 Slideshows, Screencasting & digital storytelling

Slideshare looks as if it could be a useful site to host a presentation which could be a great way to tell our clients about what they can access at our libraries. I like google docs because I think there could be stacks of applications for it's use. I am in a Systems team and we could use a Spreadsheet to log helpdesk requests and to update staff on the progress of their requests. I also think that we could create a template of a calendar so that regional staff could input any activities that they want to promote and have a like or have staff update the calendar as needed on our site.

The Slideshare show of the British Library's resouces available to researchers is a good example of a way to promote our library's services in a more interesting way. I really liked the way it highlighted the smorgasbord of tools that can be used.

The screencasting tools look very neat. I think that they are something we could use at our library. I will try to upload a powerpoint presentation promoting our library soon.
