You Tube

Well, hopefully I will not earn a demerit for not watching March of the Librarians again -- but I think once was enough. (Smart, clever, nicely done...but once was enough...life is too short to repeat too many YouTube videos.) So - I don't know what familiar person is in it.

However, I absolutely do see the use of presenting YouTube videos for learning! And so many useful ones exist for librarians to use! Here's just one on differentiating between scholarly and popular journals:


Twitter

I had tried out Twitter in the past and realized it just doesn't really work if you don't use it with your phone. Since I got off Twitter I've gotten false spam from Twitter saying friends are begging me to re-join...friends deny this. This makes me feel rather angry at Twitter for lying to me - but I do understand people it enjoy it

I can see the use of this for activism (i.e. we're getting shot at....) but otherwise I think it's not for me for personal use. Maybe a work use will emerge.
