Videocasts

I took a look at some videocasts on YouTube. The one I found interesting, about libraries, was Berkely Public Library. It was a little quirky. I think YouTube is great and a great way for libraries to publize themselves. If you can come up with a cool video people will watch it over and over again. It is also a great way to advertise library events.

Podcasts

I love the George and Joan Thinking Out Loud podcasts. I added them to my rss feed. George and Joan are library consultants. They do the Thinking Out Loud podcasts for InfoPeople. Some of the podcasts they have done recently are The Future of Newspapers and What It Means for Libraries; How Libraries Can Survive; and Best Practices for the Customer Focused Library.

These podcasts are really great and I recommend them to everyone.

Flickr Mashups Take 2


It worked! I was finally able to upload a picture to my blog. Of course I still cannot upload directly from Flickr. :-(

I created a trading card, but I cannot get it to display on my blog. Most depressing!

Flickr Take 2

I have to add my blog to Flickr and cannot figure out how to do that. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I have an account in Flickr, but am having trouble posting a picture to my blog. I'll try this again.

RSS

I use RSS to organize a lot of my professional reading. It makes my life a lot easier. Instead of going to 100 websites, I only have to go to one website. What a time saver. I use bloglines at work, so I decided for the Library 2.0 Challenge that I would use Google Reader. I may find that I like it better. So keep blogging everyone! I'll be following your posts on Google Reader.
