Hi Anne,
I've been making screencasts for the services I work for in the past two years. There are some free alternatives but Camtasia is the choice for most professionals and is well worth the money IMO.
You can export your finished file in a variety of formats - we're using YouTube to host our screencasts and embed them on our web pages, works fine across just about every device including iPads.
Here are some for the Historical Texts and Journal Archives services that I work for now:

Camtasia has the best feature set, an easy learning curve and the widest options for export in my experience - recommended.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Paul

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Screencasting software
Hi all,
We would like to create screencasts for our e-resources to aid our users, does anyone know of any tools/ software that would enable us to do this and would play on mobile technology, i.e. an iPad?
Many thanks,
Anne
