I hadn’t used any of these suggested apps and decided to try
Haiku Deck. It was very easy to use –
making the sample deck was slick (one of the better introductions on how to use
a program that I’ve seen). When I tried
making another deck on my own, I only needed to use the help on one item (and
the help actually told me what I wanted to know on the first answer
screen). One caution – the app currently
only lets you build decks on an iPad – the smaller mobile app will access
already completed decks.
Here's a sample deck that I put together as a quick tourist guide to the town where I live:

I can see this being a very useful tool in the library. It would be particularly good as a quick way
to make tutorials for people on commonly asked questions – which could then be
posted to our website or used as part of a class. I may even use it for the “forensic library
skills” course that we are offering to elementary students this summer since
using a screen tends to get kids attention quicker than just explaining
something out loud.
