Thing 7: Sharing Slide Presentations.

Slideshare works as both a public sharing space and as a research tool for presentations. Need an expert? Try Slideshare. Proud of your work? Post it for others to learn.

The Good:

• Keep your work in one place. No lost files.
• Use other presentations for information--or inspiration.  
• See statistics/comments on how popular/helpful your work is.
• Cannot go to the conference? See what the experts are saying on the topic. Share with colleagues when you return to the library. 

The Bad:

• Cannot imagine students using it; good tool for faculty and staff.
• Duplicates Blackboard for presentation storage.
• SLOW. Unbelievably slow on my machine. Nearly crashed Firefox (this may be a network/filter issue and not a Firefox one.)
