Zotero Assignment

This took a bit longer than I hoped it would.  The assignment was to make a tutorial for installing and setting Zotero using a screen capture tool called Jing.  Although it wasn't hard, I have a hard time speaking without a script.  I tend to trip over words and stutter a little.  Once I rehearse a bit, I don't have much of a problem.  All that opera and acting training kicks in and I'm ready to go.

The only real problem I had was with Firefox crashing.  Several times it decided to simply not install the plug-in or open a web page will Jing was running.  You can almost hear me hold my breath a few times in the final version, waiting to see if I have to start over again.

Besides all that, I don't think I'll ever use Zotero.  I use Evernote for almost everything and this seems to replicate that function.  Jing, however, might become quite useful.  Most obviously in my current library job, but I'm also curious to test it out during a game.  The free version only captures 5 minutes at a time, but that may be enough to get some good shots to edit together.  If it works, I can pass the information on to my boyfriend who is dying to get some footage of his Star Trek Online fleet in action.
