The wonderful world of YouTube

I was having so much fun embedding stuff in my blog for everyone to watch(not sure all are work appropriate, I might have to review them and edit my posts) that I forgot to write about YouTube. This has been by far the funnest assignment yet! I watched library cart drill teams, found a new documentary called "Hollywood Librarian" that I must now watch, found a super librarian and other fun and silly things.

I also started sharing KRL2pt0 with my mom this week and she's been enjoying some of it as well.
My mom is in her early 50's and not really one to keep up to date with technology, she's much too busy for anything other than email and the news online. But I showed her LibraryThing, which she enjoyed and shared some of the better YouTube videos about library's with her, most of which were funny and we both laughed a lot. I've also showed her my blog and talked about some of the other new things I've been learning. Most of which she personally wouldn't use, but I keep telling her that all these new things are helping me be better at my job(I think she will be making her own LibraryThing account soon!).

Both of my parents are long time library patrons (mostly at the sylvan way branch) and are very enthused about the new features that are being put in place. My mom especially liked the new self pick up of holds and they have both told me that they will be some of the first to use self check out, as they have used that before in Spokane at the public library there.

Well I meant to write about YouTube, not my family! I could spend hours online watching videos, I don't have a camera or the creativity to post anything myself....but I enjoy the videos with cute babies, animals, things to do with libraries and comedy. I don't have a YouTube account, but I'm sure that's not really necessary if I just want to watch videos and send them to friends or post them in my blogs.

When is the KRL tutorial going to be up? I am eagerly awaiting more krl goodness....
