This workshop explores how academic librarians can make use of digital video to further their institution’s mission, focusing on the production, editing, and distribution of video clips for purposes of instruction, promotion, and specialized course content. During the workshop we will use the Microsoft Windows Movie Maker software, included in Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems, but we will also explore other commercial and open source software options for use on PCs and Macs. Discussion will also focus on the multitude of digital video file formats, and their inherent benefits and limitations with respect to certain operating systems, video players, etc. Furthermore, we’ll examine a number of free video hosting options, web sites that offer syndication of content to other video hosting sites, video podcasting, and distribution via RSS feeds. Workshop length will be 2 ½ hours including a short break.

In the age of fast-paced information production and consumption it gets more difficult to engage the variety of learners in our classrooms. This 3-hour workshop will introduce numerous free web tools that allow instructors to engage students with content in a new way. Participants will explore innovative tools for increasing classroom participation, enhancing classroom presentations, creating user-generated content as well as new ways to interact with teaching faculty. The tools, which are applicable in both traditional and online settings, will include Twitter, Xtranormal, Prezi, Spicy Nodes, Jing, Embedr and Text-the-Mob. Through discussion participants will share their own experiences with similar web tools.
Participants will gain information about various free web tools that can be used in an academic library. Participants will learn how to use these tools through hands-on experience and will learn different ways to apply these tools in the workplace. Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of current literature regarding the changes in Web 2.0 technologies and their application in libraries.
