Here are my slides from this afternoon’s presentation at the Loclib 2009 Biennial Conference : Libraries Transform Communities called We are all making new media: what libraries need to know .
It is nifty that Slideshare now allows embeds of YouTube videos. It is not nifty that they a only work sometimes.
The screencast that shows how to create a digital story using Windows Movie Maker is here, Using Windows Media Maker to create a digital story .
I will be presenting at the Loclib 2009 Biennial Conference : Libraries Transform Communities tomorrow here in Perth. After the conference I will post my slideset for my session: We are all making new media: what libraries need to know
If my wireless connection is willing, I will liveblog the sessions I attend – from breakfast at 7:30am(!!) onward. You can watch the little window in this post to see it update at the same time as I post, or you can follow it via my tweets at @libsmatter on Twitter .

We soft-launched Murdoch University Blogs yesterday. It is a “get a blog” system for university staff and students using WordPressMu . It integrates with campus authentication, so bloggers can use their uni login and password.
So far we have two academics who used the system for classes, several personal blogs about work, a campus IT blog, the library’s 23 Things blog, a postgraduate writing blog, an announcement blog for one of our schools and several other blogs in the trial stage.
I am off-campus now until 28 April. When I get back I’ll post here about the plugins and configuration we used and some of the decisions we made.
But for now- hooray – it’s finally there …
