Moving target

We have monthly all staff meetings where I work. At each meeting a different department presents the role of each staff member and the "work" of that department. This is a way to instruct new employees and remind the long term folks. Last February was the Library presentation. Being solo, I put together a PowerPoint but wanted to leave them laughing. I searched YouTube and found the video "Library Cheer" which I used to end my presentation. It was great fun and everyone enjoyed.

I don't see myself as a producer or subject of a YouTube video. I like to fly under the radar. The organization has produced a YouTub video about the nursing profession that has been very successful.

Regarding Podcasting and this library, I think it would be a novel way to provide introductions to various dimensions of the library...the collection...how to use the scanner.....and databases available. Will I ever get to the point of actually creating on remains to be see. This course has certainly immersed me in technology much more than I have been. It is also teaching me how time consuming it can be to keep up with readers, blogs, and keeping posts fresh and engaging.
