Updating Delicious

I’m working on adding more examples of library ‘casting projects to the CastingKit Delicious links today in preparation for my presentation at WAPL later this week.
One of my favorite vodcast examples is the new “Welcome to the Library” video series created by the Multnomah County Library.
Multnomah County is home to a linguistically and culturally diverse [...]

Legal, copyright, and policy issues with ‘casting

Before creating any kind of ‘casting project, you should consider the legal and copyright implications for what you want to include in the recording. If all of the content was originally created by you, including any music or images you are using, then you’re doing great and won’t have to worry. For those of us [...]

Getting started with podcasting

The Library Success wiki defines podcasting as
a simple means of distributing audio content over the Internet, taking advantage of the power of RSS. Content consumers (end-users) can subscribe to a feed of a producer’s audio content and receive automatic downloads of new content as it is made available online.
Podcasts can be listened to on a [...]

Getting started with vodcasting

Vodcasting? Whuh? It’s an unusual term, often used interchangeably with videoblogging. Just think of it as online video-on-demand with RSS added so people can subscribe to your videos. If you’d like a little more basic info, take a look at Vodcasting Explained.

Getting started with screencasting

I have added links to the ‘casting kit del.icio.us account, read some good articles, and watched some video tutorials on how to use Camtasia (the screencasting software we purchased with some of the grant funds). After doing all this, I [...]

Updated resources

I attended the Public Library Association (PLA) conference in Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago and attended a great session by Michelle Jeske from the Denver Public Library. She included some great examples of what libraries are doing with audio and video on the web, and since then I’ve run across some other blog posts with additional [...]

Online storage options

In the grant proposal, one of the things on my to-do list is to evaluate online storage options for the ‘casting projects that will be created. I’ve collected some options in the ‘Casting Kit del.icio.us account. There are a wide variety of hosts included there, including some options for live, interactive programming.
It’s hard to really [...]

Links pulled together

Well, I pulled together all of the links I have been gathering on podcasting, screencasting, and vodcasting. I’ll need to do a bit more research to round out the collection a bit better, but I think there’s a good start now available at del.icio.us/castingkit. I’ve added the tag links to the Resources page, too.
I spent [...]
