Blog Exercise
Write a blog entry discussing how you felt about the experience of using YouTube and what you think about this service. When I was in graduate school for Library and Information Science course, I was required to do a project that illustrated a type of library service. I chose to make a video of a librarian doing ready reference for 3 different types of patrons with very different needs. I believe YouTube could be used by librarians to demonstrate types of services provided to patrons. It could be used to give a tour of the library for orientation. Do you see any potential uses for Podcasting in the library. If so what and why? Our library already has a contract with ITunes to do podcasting. Visiting speakers for our medical school are video taped and the audio content may be placed online as a podcast so medical students missing the lecture can listen in at their own convenience. done
