Resource Review 1 - Jing vs. Other Screen Capturing Software

I happened upon this article about options for libraries in screen capturing software:

Rethlefsen, M. L. (2009). Screencast like a pro. Library Journal, 134(7), 62-63.

The article compares four different subscription-based programs, including JingPro. Although Jing does not rate the highest in terms of features and usability, it is the one of the most cost-efficient at a price of $14.95 per year. Other programs such as Adobe Captivate 4 and Camtasia Studio 6 are highly rated, but cost hundreds of dollars to purchase. For smaller libraries with smaller budgets, these more expensive types of software may not be ideal.
