Okay, so the video I chose has nothing to do with libraries. I searched for Richford on youtube and this was one of the hits I got. WHERE DOES THIS POOR WOMAN THINK SHE IS? She doesn’t seem to know – her caption (at the bottom of the screen 0:12) says Swanton (which isn’t very close to Richford) and she starts out saying she is in Richmond (0:24 which is also not very close to Richford and does not border Canada). By the end (2:04) of the piece she seems to have checked a map and acknowledges actually being in Richford. The funny thing is she seems to have posted this herself. I’d take this embarrassing piece of video “journalism” out of the public domain.
But on the library front there are a surprising large number of clips tagged library – from the sacred to profane. I loved the Barbie book club with the Magic 8 Ball as guest speaker. I love some of the book reviews the kids do. This is a great place to involve patrons, especially younger patrons. I think I could see have a video on the website that “toured” the library. grant it we are not in a large building but we have a lot of stuff crammed in here. Definitely a project to put on the wish list.
I don’t get the japanese silent library game show – not even the version that MTV did in English (but it’s silent). It’s on MTV – that’s why I guess I don’t get it.
I love the chain reaction of watching a video and then clicking on a suggested similar video and seeing where you end up after a half an hour or so – I found myself watching Dr Who episode re-enacted in stop motion animation with lego!
