Two more candidates for Screencasting on the Mac
Still don’t yet have a way to test these myself, but here are two more candidates for screencasting on the Mac: Screenography — Major Pro: has the ability to output directly to Flash. Con: does not record audio (they say they’re working on it). $39.95 US (maybe regularly $49.95 US) Screenography is an extremely easy…

Directory of Screencasting Resources
Found this great list of screencasting resources as a result of a post by Amit at Digital Inspiration. This week (June 1), Jeremy Wagstaff’s Loose Wire column in the Wall Street Journal is about Screencasting. You can’t read the column online unless you have a subscription, though the article is currently available through Factiva, and…

Podcasts about Podcasts and Podcasting
This AM on the way in to work I finished listening to a podcast version of Greg Schwartz’s SirsiDynix session, A Beginner’s Guide to Podcasting: Part 1 – A Consumer’s Guide, and if you’re at all interested in learning about podcasts I recommend it.

Introducing WISPR – Workshop on the Information Search Process for Research
OK, here’s the final post about OffCamp 2006 in Savannah; I saved the best for last ;-), as this was the presentation I gave with Shauna Rutherford, my colleague from the U of C. The paper was actually written by three of us (though mostly by Shauna and Alix), but Dr. Alix Hayden wasn’t able…

WebMeeting tips
Laurie posts her reflections on hosting her first webmeeting (practice session). Pretty much all of these would stand for delivering remote synchronous instruction as well, so if that’s something you’ve never done you might tuck these away. She makes it sound like a really scary experience, but I’ll bet if you wrote down all the…

To whom do you teach?
Meredith Farkas is a newish distance education librarian, and has just posted a very good essay in which she comes to the conclusion that before she markets library resources to her students, she needs to market very heavily to faculty. Without faculty buy-in the students aren’t going to use the library no matter how good…
