Presentation tools in a library are used to display information in the form of a slide show or type of video. Some examples of presentation tools are PowerPoint, Prezi, Google Slides, Keynote, Haiku Deck, Visme, Animoto, and many more. They can be used in any library setting, including academic, public, and k12 libraries. Presentation tools can be used, for example, to teach patrons or students how to use the Boolean system or the online catalog search basics. Librarians use the tools to keep the interest of their patrons or students while teaching the library skills. According to the article, "Tips for Good Electronic Presentations" by Dennis Strasser, "Using presentation technology in the library can also improve audience retention" (14). According to Strasser, "Successful presentations employ three major components- good content, skill in presenting the content, and effective use of support tools (software) during the creation process" (14). Librarians should be comfortable and stay up to date with whichever presentation tools they choose for their particular audience.
