11.5 Thing 9 Slideshare

At first I thought, "What's the big deal? We can already use Google Docs for this. But then I realized that Slideshare has an archive of presentations on a variety of subjects that you can search. This is a definite bonus.

Slideshare, and the various alternatives out there, would be useful for students. I really like Authorstream -- especially the ability to format presentations for use on ipods. Too bad that this costs $2 a pop (at least, that's my understanding of it). My library budget is slim to say the least, and I must use only those free options!

I definitely see students using slideshare to create their own research presentations, as well as to find information.
