Thing 5: Video Presentations

Video

It's taken me a few attempts to get to grips with Screencast-O-Matic. It's good though. First I had to learn to lose the audio (keyboard and voice!). My boyfriend helped. Then to make it short enough. I showed how to read a magazine on your laptop courtesy of your public library (in this case Dublin City Council). It was great as it was something I wanted to learn. I put off this Rud as I was changing jobs and didn't know what to do. But it became clear in the end.

Youtube is really slow to do some edits (i.e. to add audio).

Thing 4: Communicating visually

I'm going to use Photofunia because I was aware of it and had looked into a little bit from when Niamh O'Sullivan (Irish Blood Transfusion Service) wrote about it in HINT (https://hslgblog.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/hint-eahil-special-issue/).

I've now installed the App on my phone. I found an image of records and my boyfriend kindly posed playing the trumpet in order for me to advertise live jazz music in the library! That was fun.

Thing 3: Image banks - Flickr

This is an image from Flickr. It is labelled for commercial use. The other option was to use Pixabay, but I use it a lot so I went for Flickr. This task was quite easy, though I did have to read the instructions carefully. I would like to work in a library where everyone uses Flickr to promote the library.
