YouTube

I was amazed at the variety of subjects on YouTube. I was disappointed that many of the links under Library were porn videos - sigh! The video I chose to link to my blog was posted by the University of Canterbury Library entitled "Why You Like Using the Library." It was approximatley three minutes of interviews where library users talked about why they like using the various libraries on the campus. Answers varied from the staff and how well they treated the users (great service, recognized them by name, not just another face, etc.); free Internet; importance of books (Yea!); cozy spaces to hang out; quiet place to study; warm and dry; no one around to bother them. They had lots of library fans. This will be a great video to revisit on bad days to remind myself that libraries do have fans! The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qb1UhlKYEY
