week 9 youtube, podcasts and more...

well, youtube is pretty great! you can find all sorts of video footage there, from your fave official music videos to clips of people doing silly/interesting things.. whatever you want to see, it will be here on youtube.

the video i have chosen is called "robot dance".. (link below)

it is very funny, just kids doing a hip-hop robot dance.. they are fantastic! in my opinion, this sort of stuff is what youtube is great for - things you would not normally be likely to see on tv etc..

as for how useful this could all be for library websites, i would imagine it would be useful to be able to link a little footage to an item's catalogue record, for example for books about world war two we could have links to sinppets of footage of famous incidents from this time?
