Week 8 I guess is helping towards supporting the often quoted estimate that we retain 10% and this increases when visuals are added. So certainly the video clips would add to the value of any attempts towards providing information to our client groups. For my discovery journey I found I could easily spend hours being entertained….checking out the most popular videos today, this week, this month, all time…could get hooked! Checked out the suggested sites but some I didn’t attempt because of software download issues etc. Did not find Yahoo Videos as good …searched and tried to play a selected one… but couldn’t …could be our locked down situation but the ones listed on their first page played OK. One feature missing is the production date to the clips and I tend to use this to help decide if I should check it out etc.
Found YouTube much better in searching and searched “librarians information literacy” picked one but found it already selected…so now back to the drawing board…How about this one…perhaps we could use this in various training sessions for staff or in our selection process the interviewees could be asked their views…. With its indication of when added etc it does help with dating the clip.
Found podcast.net not that current, but may not be for all categories perhaps! The option to listen or download on Yahoo Podcasts site is more upfront which is good and it has dates but surprised to find "duration not available" lots of times and this is not conducive to selection. Some interesting ECU ones but wish they could be more “obvious” and clickable…perhaps it is I the user!!! I think podcasts do have a place and those without visuals could be handy e.g. when driving…perhaps we should look at doing one to help someone find the closest car-park to the Library and identify the Library building…
