YouTube!

Ok, I admit. When I was first told to browse YouTube I was a little skeptical that I would be allowed to browse during work time. And I felt the need to tell everyone that walked by "I'm doing this for NetTrek!!!" but then I learned on all I'm missing out on!

Usually going to YouTube involved searching some ridiculous video a friend had told me about, or just goofing around when I'm home alone and bored. Or to watch a claymation my nephew created with one of his friends (The Adventures of Philburt if you want to search it - proud Auntie plug sorry) but I absolutely loved watching Aussie librarians re-create Thriller. Crack. Me. Up.

But it was fun to discover YouTube again. You can watch whole movies! And trailers for upcoming movies. And How-to videos and a channel called Chic-report. I plan on investigating that more thoroughly while I'm not at work.

RSS

I'm so glad to have finally learned what RSS means! I feel smarter already, thanks Brandy. The three feeds I subscribed to were:

1. Awful Library Books - it is hilarious to see awful 80's exercise books, their outfits, and people's snarky comments to go with them.

2. The Librarian in Black - I loved reading about her book! I hope that DBRL can continue progressing with technology training too.

3. Library Journal News - since I am more involved in the administration side of the library , it was fun to read the articles to keep more up to date on what is going on outside the walls of CPL.
