#15 Video Sharing Websites - YouTube et al

Enjoyed looking at YouTube - looked at some of the 1970s TV commercials - what a hoot!! Things have moved on substantially since then. Library dominos - wouldn't suggest doing that here, but fun to watch. Looked at a couple of interesting music clips and got to hear and see a band that I probably have no hope of seeing in real life. Did a search under "Libraries" and saw a lovely clip entitled 'We love our NJ State Library' with some of the patrons, many African American extolling the virtues of their Library. Why don't we do something like that for the State Library of Victoria? Interview some of our patrons using different parts of the Library and record their experiences and why they are at the Library.

Teacher Tube - I looked at a funny video parodying the Librarian of the past entitled 'The Librarian of 1966' - would have been funnier, but the file must have been very big and it kept cutting out - buffering issues I believe, with bigger files?

Glanced at Science Hack - good to know it's there.



Posted this video clip from YouTube 'John Howard Asleep on Climate Change' as I thought it was particularly clever.
