Well this weeks task has been a little bit of a struggle. Because I am on the desk helping patrons most of the time, I was having trouble finding enough quiet time to produce my screencast. When I did find time, I was unable to get the sound working on the staff computer. So, here is the link to my screencast in Screencast O Matic on how to renew books on our library website (unfortunately, it is entirely silent)! http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c6fiDh1Bm
I can see how this technology would be extremely helpful to patrons. Sometimes, it is just easier to show someone how to do something, rather than just explaining it with words and this technology allows you to do just that very thing. That being said, because I am not involved in a lot of training aspects at the library I will probably not utilize this process very often and I think the more you use it the better the outcome.
