Online Videos

Searching for videos on YouTube about libraries led me to a video from the PLA conference 2008. Most interesting to me was the clip on John Wood, the founder of the nonprofit organization Room to Read. He wrote Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, and I love his idea of setting up libraries in rural areas all over the world. That is something I would love to do!
Most of the YouTube videos about librarians I saw were inane.
Hulu and Fancast are goldmines for those who watch TV. I would use Hulu to look for complete TV shows if anyone I knew were interested. I’m going to inform a Sarah Connor Chronicles fan about what is available at these two websites. I believe both sites would be useful for librarians who are assisting patrons about TV questions.
