SlideShare a typical Web 2.0?!

SlideShare:

"it’s like YouTube but with slides instead of video"
"largest social network dedicated to presentations"

  • What are your thoughts about the tool?

SlideShare is a free service that allows me to upload presentations in the most common formats, such as Microsoft Powerpoint or OpenOffice. Once presentation is uploaded, they are converted into Flash format (it takes no more then 15 minutes) which is ideal, as it means that the viewer need not have Powerpoint installed in order to view the presentation. Full-screen viewing option include. Anyone can sing, I was thinking; maybe librarians from UL could sing there set up accounts and share presentations through our contact list - just an idea.

  • What particular benefits to your Library are there from using Slideshare?

Library could use it to store many presentations in one place and share it! as I mentioned above! The ability to convert to the Flash format is useful to watch them at home, especially if you don't have presentation software to be able to view collogues work.

  • Did you find any interesting presentations that you would like to share?

Have a look at my previous post.

  • Did you find any other users from a Cambridge University or College library?

Do you mean presentation like this :


OR document like that:


  • Will you use Slideshare in the future?

YES!!! if I will have interesting or useful PRESENTATION, DOCUMENT to SHARE! :)
