#20 You Tube, I Tube, We ALL Tube

Believe it or not, this is my first experience with You-Tube. Very exciting I have to say, I might have to have a quick lobotomy before I get too addicted......

I've found some amazing chemistry and science sites too. Library dominoes looks like so much fun, maybe that's a new way to deal with all those deletions we have....?

You tube, for a beginner is an interesting experience. It's hard to think to start with, and work out what you will search for, but after a few basic searches with familiar keywords you find out that it's not that scary either (common theme with web 2.0). The video concept is great and has captured the world by storm, however, can it be applied in libraries? I say YES. We have so many programs we offer for people who can come to the library, but what about large groups (schools) or housebound people? We also go through phases of our adult book talk events being booked out, so wouldn't it be great for people to be able to see these too. Obviously there are the complications with copywrite laws, but with some well grounded research we'd be able to get the right forms for authors and speakers to fill out so we can broadcast and advertise our events not only in the local area but... all over the world!

For those of you who know me, or even those who just work with me, here it is, I've found the perfect video, someone's stolen my alterego life..!!




Ahhhhhhh Flamingoooooooooooooooooo!
