Week 6: Video Online, Youtube & Google Video

For this week's work, I scanned both the Youtube and the Google videos. I found that the "We love our NJ libraries" was excellent, citing 3 reasons while the borrowers enjoyed spending time there. The "Showcasing oral histories" was really interesting showing Olive Riley returns to Broken Hill. Being able to talk about happenings and events during her lifetime of growing up in Broken Hill, is a great way to preserve our history. The State library of Queensland "timelapse construction" of the building was a fascinating look at what just can be achieved using this particular medium. I briefly looked at Paul Brunton giving a talk at the Mosman Library, and part 8 of Colleen McCulloch's dramatized novel of "Tim and Mary". Lack of time to properly explore the whole of the interesting videos, is the hardest part. I look forward to next week's adventure.
