Ubuntu Month of Screencasts is a mad plan concocted by the Screencast Team to produce one full length screencast per day for the whole of one month. That month is September 2007.
A screencast is a digital movie in which the setting is partly or wholly a computer screen, and in which audio narration describes the on-screen action.
Excerpt from the post reads: "The library world is beginning a transformation from a single focus on
content-storing-and-retrieval to a more varied focus where creating
content is also important. This is happening for many reasons… one
reason being the ease of digital content creation that web 2.0 tools
allow. Librarians, especially librarians hired to do 2.0-ish stuff, are
being asked to create content - write blog posts, create screencasts
and podcasts, experiment with video, and teach other library staff how
to do these things.cerpt from the post: "
With the smartest screen recording tools on the planet, Camtasia Studio makes everything from training videos to PowerPoint presentations to lectures look better, reach more people, and pack more punch.
This presentation will focus on one librarian’s practical use of blogs in an effort to convey her philosophy that regardless of the technical aspects of the changing information landscape (Library 2.0?), the song, generally, remains the same when it comes to the messages subject librarians need to convey.
