My experience of YouTube to date has mostly consisted of the Monty Python channel, and library-related videos that I've found via other people's blogs.
I started to explore the site further and found a concise animation showing ionic and covalent bonding - a hard concept to explain, so great to see it demonstrated. Reactions of alkali metals in water is also fun to watch!
Perhaps I began to stray too far into chemistry, so I began to look for library-related videos instead, e.g.
Michael Stephens on Using Twitter in Libraries
and lots of content about information literacy.
In my current role, I don't use YouTube for work purposes, but I can see how libraries could identify useful videos (e.g. doing citations, how to use self-issue, navigating the library catalogue) and flag them up on their Delicious page for their users.

I am shamelessly pimping it as my Dad was in the choir - there's a lovely shot of him laughing at the sheep in the trailer!
Well done your Dad! Are you going? (Do you have a spare ticket?)
ReplyDeleteHope so! It said on the site that it should be showing at the Odeon George St, but it doesn't seem to be available for booking yet.
