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!

Week 6 - Videos online - discover

I love YouTube, I find all sorts of lovely and wonderful surprises each time I visit! Firstly I searched for lego and played around with the Indiana Jones lego game, then I searched for Kogarah Library and came across a live band performance in the library, lastly Liverpool Plains brought me a Harvesting 2006 video. All good
Next I did the same at Google Video. This time I noted the difference between a search using "all viedos" and one using "videos hosted by google". The first had hits with YouTube and many others, the second was a much smaller result.
So which were my favourite videos? Well all kids love lego so I couldn't go past Indiana Jones:



& Monty Python and the Holy Grail.



As a finale though I came across Paul McDermott & Fiona Horne performing Shut Up/Kiss Me live.



Like I said, all good.
