[OPLINLIST] Reminder and change of location: CO-ASIST program announcement -- October 17, 2006: Digital storytelling

[Laura Cheng]

This is a Reminder and a Change of Address Notice for the CO-ASIS&T Program "Digital Storytelling" on
October 17th, 2006. The Program will be held in OCLC's Smith Board Room in the Smith Building on OCLC's Campus (instead of the Kilgour Auditorium as originally announced).  New directions are provided below**

"Digital Storytelling"
Featuring Presenters Anne Fields & Karen Diaz

Digital Storytelling is the practice of telling a personal story using multimedia to combine images, music and the storyteller's voice to create compelling, 3-5 minute videos.

What might this have to do with information science? Why might technically minded people be interested in this topic? Come and hear how digital storytelling contributes to the increasing role of social technologies in our society and in our libraries. This program will further define and illustrate the use of digital storytelling in the library environment. We will see examples of library stories, discuss the potentials for how this medium can be used, discuss the challenges of creating a digital storytelling program, and issues surrounding how
these stories might be stored and shared.
