Library Cataloging
Here is a PR idea that may be useful when your institution hosts an event. Create a template in MS Photo Story, or a similar product for the MAC. Select the music, have some photos and title and ending shots already in place. Then let the participants drop in their certain number of photos. The transitions between photos, and basic framework would already be done, they could quickly walk out with a nice personalized slide show. This would work with cosplay, gaming night, or a visit by Tony Hawke.At the TLA District 8 Fall Meeting I heard a talk by Mary J. McCoy on Windows Movie Maker and Photo Story and this idea came to me later.
