TechSoup Stock Spotlight: Flip Video Discount Program
<http://ga0.org/ct/wpSRpJE1vLXI/> 


Flip Video has partnered with TechSoup to make its pocket-sized digital
camcorders available to eligible libraries and nonprofit organizations.
Flip Video's simple camcorders can be used by people with any level of
video experience to create, edit, and share movies. Libraries can use
these camcorders to give their staff, volunteers, and constituents the
ability to further their causes through digital storytelling.

Two Flip Video Ultra U1120 120-minute white camcorders and one Flip
Video tripod are available for an admin fee of $175. For more details,
see our Flip Video Discount Program Page
<http://ga0.org/ct/wpSRpJE1vLXI/> . Learn more about how libraries are
using Flip videos in our upcoming webinar
<http://ga0.org/ct/N7SRpJE1vLXf/> .

TechSoup's donation program <http://ga0.org/ct/spSRpJE1vLXm/>  helps
stretch your library's budget. You can save 80-96% on brand-new software
donated by top companies. The products, including Microsoft donated

<http://ga0.org/ct/sdSRpJE1vLXu/>  are available to all public libraries
that are listed in the IMLS database <http://ga0.org/ct/A7SRpJE1vLX3/>
and/or have a valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and to nonprofits with a

Flip-in' Out @ the Library <http://ga0.org/ct/N7SRpJE1vLXf/> 


Thursday, June 17, 2010, 11:00 AM Pacific (Noon Mountain / 1pm Central /
2pm Eastern)  

 

TechSoup's product donation program includes easy-to-use Flip Video
cameras <http://ga0.org/ct/wpSRpJE1vLXI/>  that allow you to share your
library and community stories. Find out how public libraries are using
this technology as a tool for making connections, recording library
events, and sharing knowledge.

 

We'll showcase several libraries so you can see how these videos are
created, edited, and shared. The Tonganoxie Public Library
<http://ga0.org/ct/xpSRpJE1vLXh/>  in Kansas rocks the flip at their
library. Royce Kitts will share how they use Flip cameras to produce
videos of library events, recording staff training, and sharing advocacy
techniques. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library
<http://ga0.org/ct/wdSRpJE1vLXO/>  uses Flip cameras within their system
for programming at their branches. Kelly Czarnecki will let us know how
they use these videos for everything from library advocacy and outreach
to answering questions about current events.
