Ah, You Tube. I remember an episode of The Office where Michael admitted that he didn’t do any work for a week when You Tube came out. I’m not that bad, although I have to admit the time totally just disappears when I’m on You Tube. There’s a ton of neat stuff – intros to old TV shows I used to watch (I’m a bit of a sucker for TV theme songs), fire truck stuff and music videos.
Library use – there are lots of possibilities. I like the advocacy / use your library videos listed (esp. the Harper College video) and can see possibilities for online instruction – e.g. how to use the catalogue, place a hold, etc. All of this is on my “to do” list – I’ve downloaded a program called CamStudio to film the screen activity – I just need some sort of microophone. Plenty of possibilities for someone with some creativity – unfortunately, I’m not that creative, but hope to play around with it soon anyway.
So, for my video, I chose this. I’m a child of the 80s and this was always my favourite music video, back in a time when they actually had production values and stuff. This one even stars Donald Sutherland. Enjoy!
