Week 9! - Thing 20 - YouTube

Create a blog post about your experience. What did you like or dislike about the site and why did you choose the video that you did? Can you see any features or components of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to library websites?

There's probably something that will entertain or enlighten just about anyone on YouTube. What a bunch of creative people there are--where do they find the time?

I picked Hollywood Librarian Trailer because it was clean, for one thing. I liked the variety of librarians that were portrayed. Apparently this is a trailer for an actual movie that can be shown by request at local libraries.

There are some instructional videos on YouTube as well as the entertaining ones. It might be fun to change the videos on a regular basis, just as a way to entice users to come and have a look at the library website to see what's new.
