YouTube can be addicting! While it’s blocked at work, I spent an afternoon checking out various videos. I ran across several library presentations that were quite lengthy that I enjoyed being able to attend virtually! I believe this is one of the benefits that YouTube brings to users ~ exposure to subjects, viewpoints/perspectives, and materials that for one reason or another you don’t typically experience. These presentations were given at conferences that are out of scope for me to attend so I appreciated being able to have the opportunity experience them first-hand.
I do see a number of potential uses of Podcasting in the library ~ orientations, information literacy in general, online searching techniques, resource guides, etc. Our libraries are leanly staffed so my main concern is the time required to put these together ~ synchronizing the audio w/the video, etc.
Do you have time to take a quick look at the videos that I’ve selected to post to my blog?
In the spirit of MLA’s Web 2.0 CE...Second Life Reference
…”Alliance Library System and OPAL are teaming up to extend the programs currently offered online to librarians and library users to the Second Life virtual environment. Many libraries of all kinds offer events, lectures, exhibit, collections and training in Second Life.”

Fighting for Life – Official Trailer
This documentary interweaves stories of military doctors, nurses and medics, wounded soldiers and marines reacting with courage, dignity and determination to survive and heal. It features students at Uniformed Services University, the "West Point" of military medicine, on their journey toward becoming career military physicians. The filmmakers had extraordinary access to combat support hospitals in Iraq, medevac flights with wounded soldiers, and military hospitals in Germany and the United States.
