A Music Librarian's Guide to Creating Videos and Podcasts

A guide every music librarian will want to use to develop and enhance multi-media skills. The digital age has created a divide between music librarians and their patrons: traditional models of interaction have been superseded or replaced by electronic communication, and virtually all librarians have felt the ensuing decline of their users' information-seeking skills. Music librarians can now be proactive in reaching out to patrons digitally with videos and podcasts, since editing technologies for both platforms have become inexpensive and easy to use.The authors give music librarians the step-by-step instructions for creating their own content in both Mac and PC platforms. This ready reference on videos should find a home in every library and also many personal collections. Technical Reports Series, Vol. 36.
