In 2008, OWLS received a grant to purchase equipment and software to enable us and our member libraries to create podcasts, vodcasts, and screencasts. This presentation shares what we did, examples of projects, and other tips and resources. Presented for the Wisconsin Association of Public Libraries conference in Wisconsin Dells on May 7, 2009.
