Comments on Quest 12 Part One

I love YouTube! I have been searching it for weeks during my lunch time, finding videos of my favorite music. It has been great. However, I don't care about any videos posted by Joe Schmoe. It's just like blogs--why should I care what the average joe says? You waste a lot of time trying to find one good video.

One way it could be used by the library is to create a video, such as the one Steven Schwengel did, showing how to use something at the library (Steven's was how to access our databases from our web site), and then direct patrons to that video.

Here's a video I thought was interesting:



This video expresses exactly how I feel about public libraries, and how I felt about public libraries before I became a librarian.



Unfortunately, I was trying to watch it in the middle of the afternoon--not the smartest time to watch one of these videos. I had to let it play and then replay it; otherwise, I didn't have the patience. (This is a real drawback to seeing some of these things.)
