YouTube and Flickr have been fun, quite a relief from the aggravation of downloadables yesterday. I chose to look at 'relaxing' sites this morning on both of them, but can see that they could both be useful for libraries, especially if we can get patrons used to checking/looking at them. I was disappointed to find only CLP videos on YouTube - did not see any other county libraries in the first 6 or so pages of 258 results for "library" "Pittsburgh". (Got bored looking after that.) ACLA has lots of pics on Flickr, are they publicized so the public knows to look for them? Redid my YouTube search to 'Public library Pittsburgh' - got many fewer results (18), lots less CLP hits, did get 2 ACLA service announcements.
(I've helped my daughter with YouTube for quite a while. It's amazing what you can find there. She loves the oldie music videos!)

Yah, our other libraries need to get on the ball with using videos.
ReplyDeleteThe Flickr pics of all the libraries that ACLA has taken are all public. Libraries can link to the collections or use them in any way they'd like!
