[Web4lib] Video projects

[Robert L. Balliot]

Brian - USB only works for small file transfers, such as jpg/ gif images,
unless you have *hours* to spend uploading.  Firewire is nice  and ok if you
have a big hard drive on your camera and a firewire port on your system. 

Removable flash media - SD cards - rock.  Low cost. Easy to find adapter to
plug into a 2.0 USB port. Loads of memory available.  Use less
power than a hard drive or tape drive, so you extend the battery life. Very
lightweight. Swap it out and you can start a new project. Great for HD.

You can see my library's offerings on this page:
http://library.case.edu/ksl/freedmancenter/index.html

We are several camera options but the ones that are pushed for the typical
student project are just flip cameras. They allow a student to focus on the
content and not have to worry about all the settings on a higher end camera.
They are easy to use and have the USB built in so you do not ave to worry
about cables being lost.

I have used the equipment in our multimedia center but do not work in it
specifically. If you want additional information, I know they would be happy
to speak with you.
