Bargains Galore!















I recently attended the Computers in Libraries conference and have about 10 pages of notes to share. (Jane and Leigh, I will send those along as soon as they are legible.) Among the many amazing free and open source resources discussed were the following three FREE versions of very expensive multimedia applications:

Wink: Create screencasts, tutorials, add text boxes and voiceovers. Wink is perfect for creating a little software demo to place online, to clarify and illustrate a procedure.
CamStudio: Create streaming desktop video with audio, text boxes, etc.
Audacity: Audacity is a free sound editor and recorder, perfect for podcasts, can manipulate multiple tracks.

Hell, I'm feeling generous--here's a fourth, PodOMatic, which creates audio and video podcasts, uploads and stores on their server, and creates an RSS feed. Don't say I never bring you anything!

Great tips, Melba! While I didn't think much of Wink, CamStudio and Audacity are fabulous programs and easy to use.
