A service that deserves some extra exposure: JISC Digital Media’s surgery. The service is vital (and free) for Librarians living in a technological driven environment where we are constantly seeking ways to utilise technologies and promote our services.
The surgery service is superb. Every Wednesday afternoon you can join the online sessions, which includes specialist staff and representatives covering many different areas of digital media.
I joined the first session on 23rd September, joining discussion on recording podcasts. It wasn’t long however before I took discussion in another direction, opening me up to a whole range participants and staff interested in talking about our new image management system. I now have some useful contacts as we seek to build up and promote our new Image Management System.
The next sessions are as follows:
- Using screen casting 21/10/2009
- Digital lifecycle 1 04/11/2009
- Basic mic technique and placement 18/11/2209
- Using Flickr 02/12/2009
- Choosing a recording space 16/12/2009
I am tempted to join ‘Using Flickr’, as it may provide me with some additional ideas on using the service for promotion.
