This blog started for the project I am a Librarian! It gave detail the project progress. It will now focus on discussions of the image of the librarian and my interactions with librarians and library staffers as well as cool information that I think could be useful to others.

Librarians on YouTube

Tonight I went to the InfoTubey Awards. Information Today hosted the awards for libraries that created videos on YouTube to promote their services. They chose 5 winners from approximately 60 entries.

Here are the winners:

New Jersey State Library:

Seneca Library - Canada:

Williams College Library:

Arlington Heights Memorial Library:

And since the library from Canada could not afford to send someone to Virginia, here is the Acceptance Speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nntN8J5TSxU

PALINET sponsored the snacks and coffee, which was a fantastic idea by the marketing team.

And since my co-worker Catherine likes the book cart drill teams, I thought I'd feature this one from Pitt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFtjnxm_wiQ

And one that I think it pretty clever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrtYdFV_Eak

What are some of your favorite library videos?

Thanks for the mention! The link you have for NJ goes to an earlier version, could you replace with this link?

Thanks Nancy! I have updated the link!

Here are the three reasons I love the library...

1.) Free access to information... books, CDs, DVDs, internet, etc.
2.) Great speakers!
3.) Friendly and encouraging library staff.
