Academic Libraries
October 10th, 2006 by Greg R Notess
Here are several academic library sites with instructional screencasts, followed by the subject and then software used to create the tutorials when I’ve been able to identify it and date.
- Colorado Mountain College (Databases: CQ Researcher, Academic Search Premier, more). Camtasia.
- Houston Community College (Databases, Ask a Librarian, more under Library Video Tutorials). Jing. Hosted as Screencast.com.
- Norwich University (Databases). Captivate.
- Seattle Community Colleges (Search the Web) Camtasia.
- University of Calgary Tutorials (Finding Full Text and more) Captivate, Camtasia, ViewletBuilder
- University of California, LA Find It (Article Searching) Camtasia 2 & 3 (Includes Farsi and Mandarin versions)
- University of British Columbia (Guide to using the UBC Library) Camtasia
- University of Hawaii (Library and Catalog, includes Grove Music) Camtasia 2

We’ve created a number of online tutorials that cover things like how to find theses written here or sign up for one of our RSS feeds, find an ejournal or tips on using the catalog. They can be viewed here at this url:

Also did an online tutorial that I’ve posted on our blog that showcases the holdings in our Digital Library. http://carlbookblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/carl-digital-library-flash-movie.html
These were all created using Captivate
I just found a whole slew of screencast tutorials (using Captivate) at the University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Library, so I thought I’d add to the list: http://hsclibrary.uchsc.edu/online-tutorials.
