Thanks for leaving a comment Loretta! I am a big mac geek, and Keynote is one of my favorite presentation software. It is possible to use PowerPoint and other presentation software. The trick is to find out if the presentation software will “Save As..” or Export to a compatible video format.

Thank you for posting my video! To clarify, it was made for our inhouse display screen using some istock photos and the program Keynote for the Mac. I then converted it to a QT movie for Youtube and Facebook – some of the timing is a little off, but I think the message is clear.

There are 3 videos in this “campaign” so far and all can be viewed, along with other videos we’ve produced, on YouTube, under the name “lamerlowmc”.

I came up with this idea after hearing many stories, especially from frustrated teaching librarians here (and elsewhere) about students and professional staff using Google to do research instead of the many more reliable, scholarly resources offered by our library.

We are monitoring any upticks in usage of these resources and plan to release a few more as well. Again, thanks for your interest.

Comment on Poll: Kindles for Libraries? by Ken Fujiuchi

Using the Kindle for Digitized special collections is a great idea! The PDF support should make it a little easier to get your own collection on there. It is a little pricey, but if there is a decent discount on the Kindle version of books, it may be worth it. I would love to use it for textbooks at the library.

I’ve been working with licensing for about 4 months now, and am finally working through internal bureaucracy to start moving the discussion towards adopting some e-book readers for specific collection. I think the new kindle will help the argument, but am still not certain the Kindle will be my final choice (a big part of what we’d like to do is load our own digitized special collections and be able to circulate them –the kindle makes that an expensive choice).

For me/my library, the Audible connection is really Kindle’s killer app.
