Podcasts #2

I listened to the beginning of several children's stories, and can't imagine children actually sitting still to listen to these. I'm not sure there's any use we can make of podcasts. The video casts, yes, but not podcasts.

Podcasts

I found most everything blocked by WebSense. I did enjoy listening to several "samples" of songs. I found one podcast that I could send to GoogleReader, but thinking there would be more I didn't "send" it. I then looked around for others, couldn't find anything and then couldn't go back to the one I did find. I don't see too many uses of this in the library.

YouTube

This is the first time I've looked at YouTube. I found it very easy to search. It was very interesting to see the videos that came up for a search of Virginia Beach. I'm including the following video because, as a knitter, I found it hilarious. I espcially like the comments.

I think using YouTube would be a great way to show patrons how to search the catalog, use our resources, give virtual tours of the libraries and provide programs.

Flickr Tools

Enjoyed looking through, especially Montagr. Still prefer reading.

Flickr Tags

Tags seem to be important as finding tools. The more specific the better.

Flickr

I like this picture. I wish it were here!

Flickr appears to be very easy to use. It should be a great way to send photos to friends/family out of town.
