Abstrakt: This study took place at the William E. Laupus Health Sciences Library at East Carolina University. Its purpose was to determine the best practices for creating and delivering online database instruction tutorials for optimal information accessibility to Division of Health Sciences students. Using a case study methodology, PowerPoint, MediaSite, and Camtasia were used to produce almost identical online tutorials. Tutorial creating software was evaluated on four criteria: usability, accessibility, cost, and time required to create the tutorial. This study showed that of the three software programs, Camtasia delivered optimal results for short sessions such as database instruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
