First vodcasting trial set

OWLS has a continuing education workshop scheduled for April 23rd. The Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC) will be here in Appleton to present “Outstanding Books for Children and Young Adults.” More info is available on OWLSweb.

Why am I mentioning this on the ‘Casting blog? Well, because wonderful CCBC librarian, Megan Schliesman, has agreed to let me record the workshop and post it online! It will be my first vodcasting experiment (on a large scale). The CCBC workshops are very popular, but it’s hard for school library staff to get to since they can’t always get subs. This way I can record the workshop and post it online for anyone to view after it’s done.

I’ll need to become more familiar with our new camcorder, so I’ll be ready to go. I hope the tripods arrive in time! What a great opportunity to “eat the dog food” (as my friend Joy would say) and try something out that I’ll be encouraging our member libraries to do later in the grant period. Can’t wait!

Thanks CCBC!
