After lunch I watched Karen Schneider's YouTube video on LOCKSS and it got me thinking, I have a video file on my PC. I had just received my digital camera as a birthday gift the day before a trip to Hayward to see the Kirtas book scanner. The camera has a movie mode. I took a little video of the book scanner in action. It wasn't until I got back that I realized that the camera also records sound, else I would have narrated the workings of the scanner.
I searched YouTube to see if anyone else had posted a video of a working Kirtas scanner. There was one video taken at SLA this year.
I just joined YouTube, went to the upload page, browsed to where the file was, filled in a title, description and tags and let it upload. Once uploaded YouTube provides the code which can be used to embed the video on blogs or websites.
On Blogger I started typing in "Compose" mode, then clicked on the Edit Html tab and pasted in the code provided by YouTube. Here is the result (not appearing yet, seems to take a lot of time for YouTube to process, or maybe there was a problem with the file, but regardless, it was easy to do) :

Things 16 and 20 wiki and videocast
Heard about this great video explaining the concept of a wiki in plain English. Just had to link to it here. Click on the play arrow within the picture to play it.
How cool is this? today I learned how to embed a Youtube video into my blog post. On the video page there was a friendly pointer to the code to "embed." I copied the text within that field and then went to my blog post. I clicked on the "Edit Html" tab and then pasted it in. I then went back to the Compose tab to continue writing the post.

Week 3, Exercise 1, part 3 Videocasting
Manchester Public Library videocasts: Wow, is that orange or what? Pod and video casts were done in 2005 and appear to no longer be on the site? Not really much content on the site as a whole.
Westerville Public Library Castr service: Nice welcoming page. Interesting topics. No link back to the library's website. Quality of the video recording looks amateurish, but that's ok, more homey. Only five casts. Maybe there should be a warning that the casts will take a long time to load. On library's main page there is a link to Castr.
Orange County Public Library videocasts: Right at the top they offer a tutorial to RSS and a link labeled "confused about podcasts". Easy to navigate. But from the library's main page how are people to know it's classified under "Classes and Programs"?
Boy, will I be the bandwidth hog today on our network.
