RNIB and Vision Australia libraries on YouTube (8 June). Posted by Sally Cummings on Friday, June 8, 2012 Under: Professional. I regularly monitor Twitter and other channels for news and developments related to accessibility in libraries and the broader community. I recently came across this YouTube video from the RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People). And closed captioning would have been a plus as well. 2012 is the National Year of Reading. Out and about in. Laquo; Back to posts. Subscribe to...

The unusual experience of having a photo featured on Flickr Explore (29 June). Posted by Sally Cummings on Monday, June 29, 2015 Under: Technology. So an odd thing happened yesterday. One of my index cards was featured in Flickr Explore. And it was a very interesting experience . But the likes just kept on coming! And new followers too. So I booted up my PC, and had another look at Flickr Explore, and sure enough - there it was. Very exciting :). So That was pretty cool. With over 13,000 views (but only ...

#Octshowntell Week 1
http://www.sallysetsforth.com/index/-octshowntell-week-1
Posted by Sally Cummings on Monday, October 18, 2010 Under: Technology. First there was #blogeverydayofjune. Then there was #1pic1thoughtinAug. Now it's time for #Octshowntell. Octshowntell is a challenge to explore a variety of digital storytelling tools - one each week in October - and share the results on Twitter, using the #Octshowntell hashtag. As well as being great fun, it's a terrific idea to get to know these tools, and to consider how they can be used in both personal and professional contexts.

Blabberize (3 June)
http://www.sallysetsforth.com/index/blabberize-3-june-
Posted by Sally Cummings on Sunday, June 3, 2012 Under: Technology. Last year my colleagues and I put together a fun library orientation program for students that involved treasure hunts, QR codes, animated videos and more. It was a great project to work on, and I've previously blogged about it HERE. As part of the online version of the treasure hunt, we used video clips that I created with an online tool called Blabberize. Here's one of the videos that we used in the treasure hunt:. Any image that has a...

Posted by Sally Cummings on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 Under: Technology. My second attempt at digital storytelling for #Octshowntell. Was made using Storybird. Storybird is a website where you can use high quality (and gorgeous! Illustrations to create stories, and publish them in a visually appealing digital storybook format. I encourage you to give it a go, the site is a real pleasure to use. You can read the story here on my blog, or click HERE. The Helpful Librarian (aka The Green Fairy).

Tumbling - again (9 June). Posted by Sally Cummings on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 Under: Technology. I've previously written a blog post. But I've decided to revisit it after posting a comment about it on moonflowerdragon's blog. I use Tumblr in addition to my more traditional blogging platform here. I use it differently - it's more for finding, recording and sharing sources of art/craft/visual inspiration that I find on the web. Here's the link to my Tumblr - http:/ sallysetsforth.tumblr.com. I've also see...

Retro library posters (10 June). Posted by Sally Cummings on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 Under: Professional. I love a bit of retro style, and these vintage library posters are fantastic! I think they could still be used today :). And for the fiction buffs . There's a whole Flickr album. Of these posters, collected by a library technician who goes by the username Enokson.

#Octshowntell Week 4
http://www.sallysetsforth.com/index/-octshowntell-week-4
Posted by Sally Cummings on Sunday, November 7, 2010 Under: Technology. Yes, yes, I know October is over now ;) I created each "digital story" for the #Octshowntell. Challenge during October, and posted links on Twitter. It's just taken me a bit longer to showcase them here on my blog . Anyway, I thought I'd try something different for the final week of #Octshowntell. I first came across DoInk. A snail and a butterfly. Made at DoInk.com. You can view the animation as it appears on the DoInk site HERE.

The Library Minute (16 June)

The Library Minute (16 June). Posted by Sally Cummings on Thursday, June 16, 2011 Under: Professional. I really like the Library Minute videos produced by Arizona State University Libraries. Featuring librarian Anali Perry. They have a wonderfully light touch, are visually interesting and professional looking, and manage to impart plenty of information (but not too much! In the space of a single minute. Have you seen them? If not, do be sure to check out their YouTube channel. Here's one of my favourites:.
