It was a surprise to look at Mosman Library and see Paul Brunton's talk on Miles Franklin had been videoed. I think I would be quite nervous about that process, being filmed but of course Paul handled it no problems.
I think our Library could really take advantage of the video technology, especially in terms of making short educational introductions to parts of our collections and using catalogues etc. For example the Quickstart presentations that Pictures staff used to give could be videoed once and posted to our website. As the live presentations are very resource-intensive, a video would be a much more efficient way of conveying the information without the clients even having to come into the Library, and they could watch it whenever they wanted to. It would also be good for the Library to tape some of the curator talks and post them to the website for the public and even interested staff.
