I can see why others have said that YouTube is addictive. Is there nothing you can't find on here? I tried searching for library-related videos. I got a lot of results of various libraries' videos on using their particular card catalog systems. This might be something we could take advantage of once we get our new ILS system in place. I also found a cute commercial for Lexington Public Library, which was encouraging people to get a library card. Like Kim, I found myself wanting to search for all of my favorite '80s videos. Aahh, the days when MTV was actually cool! Then I found myself watching some of my fave Saturday Night Live sketches. Who doesn't want to watch the Patrick Swayze/Chris Farley Chippendales sketch?? Classic stuff. Anyway, I am going to post a funny video called "Librarian Lays Down the Law". I thought it was funny, and many of us can relate to this. It's also short, so it won't take up too much of your time to watch. On a serious note, I also found a video promoting a service called http://www.askwhyky.org/. This is a site where a person can get 24/7 reference service by chatting live online with a librarian or via email. I am going to try and attach this video, also. It's pretty interesting. I will delve into the world of podcasting at a later date, but I've really enjoyed playing with YouTube.
