Screencasting

I'm reading up on screencasting because I think it is a wonderful way for librarians to communicate how to use databases, do smart web searches, or just to use software that the library offers. The wikipedia article on screencasting is informative, but while reading it, I ran across this gem of a screencast showing the evolution of a wikipedia article. I will definitely be showing this as an introduction to wikipedia.

    The narration added to a screencast does add an otherwise lacking component to an online guide to database use or "advanced search", as you suggest. Thanks for putting it more squarely on my radar!
