Screencasts and Vlogs
OK - here's a cool thing that I can actually use!
I have a Treo phone and this Vlog (Video Blog - a step up from a photoblog), One In The Hand, shows me screencasts that actually show me what to do to get the features on my Treo working. I must be a visual learner because this works better for me than line drawings in the manual which is ironically bigger than the phone). It's even organized around micro lessons that match my attention span (Oh look, a bird). Cool.
Now I can see loads of library applications for this too. Every OPAC, database, web site, sign-up procedure, etc. could be vlogged and pointed to from web pages and blogs for easy help. And it would look just like your stuff, logo and all. Gotta love it.
The SirsiDynix Institute will be doing a session in screencasting on Nov. 8.
