Test Drive #6 - Videos Online

Technology has come a long way recently with respect to online videos. Access has improved with cheaper video cameras (Hand-held and phone), faster broadband and thanks to free video hosting sites such as You Tube. I have become very familiar with You Tube through taking part in Licence to Test Drive as many of the educational videos are located there.

Also as part of my job as a librarian, I have recommended that clients access You Tube to gain the information they require as we did not have it in the library. For example, recently I recommended You Tube to a mother looking to find an audio copy of the Fijian National Anthem for her child's school assignment.

I have uploaded a You Tube video to this blog "I Love the Library". Although it has an American focus, it still portrays a typical Australian public library, like the one I work in!
