Week 6 - videos - explore

I have to say the time lapse photography of the Qld State Library's construction project reminded me of a Peter Gabriel videoclip. Yet I was also struck by what it achieves - in a short 2.02 minutes a building site goes from nothing to something. Here you can 'see' vision take shape.

Then the Staff orientation video from PLCMC showed a neat way of presenting a professional image which all and any staff could access from anywhere. In a Regional Library network this sort of 'distanceless' orientation process is a huge bonus. With training days so hard to organise across distances and time and staff here is an 'easy' way of ensuring that the same message gets to all staff within the overall library service. The possibilities here are endless.

And Video Coolness - yay. For me this would be the best - video footage of a book group in action. Discussions, laughter. coffee, digression. All the things that the best bookgroups are made of. Book reviews online and available via the library website - the coolest stuff in RA available!
Across ages and genres the possibilities are absolutely endless!
