I am totally knocked out by the excellent work ALA Emerging Leaders Team I did on creating screencasts to highlight all the wonderful features of ALAConnect. As Web Advisory Committee chair, I became the group mentor but my schedule and duties didn’t allow much mentoring – but I knew they were in good hands with ALA ITTS staff who offered support and guidance throughout the project. So please allow me to send them a public “WOOOHOO” on a job well done!
Take a look at the screencasts. You’ll find a promo video, a video highlighting how to integrate Connect with the social tools you currently use, ways to monitor other groups, and much, much more.
This one is a fave:
To all involved – great work! TAKE A BOW.
To folks who haven’t checked out Connect yet, please use these screencasts as a way to get started. You won’t be sorry.



The top screencast has an image of the Skokie Library, my place of work. Wondering who did that one? Good stuff!
Thanks Michael, we were glad to have you as a mentor!
Mick, the promo video was done by Melissa Dessent.
You can find the whole series (12 videos) on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=70BA0EDD3A21DBF3
