LibGuides presentation

Earlier this week I gave an online presentation about LibGuides for the GALILEO initiative here in Georgia. Once again they were good enough to archive it. It's partly how-to/demo and partly suggested best practices and examples.

Archived Zotero presentation

I gave an online Zotero talk for GALILEO last week. Here's the audio and video archive. It's part software how-to and partly a discussion of how I teach and support Zotero in our library. EDIT: No password needed -- just leave it blank and click Enter.

I'm doing another one for them in November (and one on Libguides in early August), and I hope to be a little less awkward with the Wimba presentation software at that point!

Conference presentation: Creating an Instructional Podcast

My colleague Rachel Borchardt and I are giving a session at the GOLD/GALILEO Users Group Conference on August 1st in Athens, GA. Our presentation is:

"Let Your Audience Hear You: Creating an Instructional Podcast"

Interested in publishing an instructional podcast at your library? Learn the steps to design, plan and produce a podcast for your students using inexpensive hardware and mostly free software. We will discuss both instructional design and technological how-to, drawing on our experiences producing Woodruff Library’s Survival Guide podcast for undergraduates. We will include topics such as technology tools, publicity, “iTunes U”, and involving tech-shy colleagues.

I attended this conference last year and it really rocked -- I came away with more ideas and contacts than I usually do from a day at ALA. I'm particularly excited to be co-presenting with Rachel, since she and I have been working on this together for quite a while and it'll be great to share some of what we've learned doing it.
