Video killed the 'PDF' star: taking information resource guides online

Meehan, David and Hyland, Jack (2009) Video killed the 'PDF' star: taking information resource guides online. SCONUL Focus, 47 (Winter). pp. 23-27. ISSN 1745-5790

Abstract
Easy-to-use technologies now allow librarians to create their own customised digital and video tutorials. This article takes a look at publisher-created video tutorials. It considers the pros and cons of libraries creating their own video-format guides, and elaborates on DCU Library's own experience in producing video-based tutorials on databases customised to local needs using Camtasia and Screentoaster.
