Libraries and Online Video - Free Online Seminar with TechSoup

I'm excited to be participating in a free online seminar with TechSoup, an organization that helps non-profits with technology. Details below:

Tech Training Made Simple with Online Videos

Wednesday, November 18, 11 a.m. Pacific time

Wouldn’t it be great if complicated technology concepts were explained in a simple way that’s easy to understand? Imagine how something like this could assist you in training sessions for patrons or staff. Well look no further, Common Craft creates explanatory videos “In Plain English” that cover topics like green, money, society and technology.

In this free webinar, Stephanie Gerding from TechSoup will interview Lee LeFever, from Common Craft to learn more about their videos and how they are created. We will also hear how librarians are using these videos to support the needs of their community.

I hope you'll be able to come and ask questions! Sign up here.
