Topic - Jing

My research review topic is Jing, a screen capturing software which allows one to create short videos of what occurs on your computer screen. These videos are often used as instructional tools in the library setting, especially within e-reference.

Currently, Jing is available in two forms:

1) A free download with minimal features.
2) JingPro - For purchase ($14.95 per year) with extended features.

I plan on exploring some of the pros and cons of this digital tool in both forms. I'm also interested in how tools such as Jing have shaped virtual reference services and what the future of these services may look like.
