I've always been a fan of screenshots when I'm learning how to do something techy for the first time. Screencasts are a nice extension or continuation of screenshots. In todays ultra visual world, it makes sense for libraries to use this technology to create tutorials for their online catalogs. For example, I think a screencast tutorial for using LINKcat at South Central Libraries would be much more useful than the "help" tab.
I'd like to test this idea with Screencast-O-Matic. To be continued...

Hi Mary,
Thanks for the idea of using screencasting instead of the Help tab - I'll pass that along. It'll come in handy when we finally migrate to a new system!
Keep on playing!
Jean
