- Our Nikes - their plastic bottle shoes
- Our electronic games - their bleached skeleton bones for building blocks
- Our computer savy schools - their writing in dry parched ground
- Our caring Parents (sometimes) - they don't have any
- Our food excess - their starvation
- Our comfy beds - their hard ground
- Our obesity - their skeletons
Are you still complaining?
Another world is possible
I watched a few other on poverty " Make poverty History" and there was one featuring Nelson Mandala.
No complaints and enough of that.
For something Lighter I watched "Conan the Librarian" wow - our customers think they have it bad with their overdues.
As far as YouTube and Libraries go - with our need to adapt to emerging technology You Tube could be a fun way to add life to our web page - instead of text instructions on how to place a hold on the new on line catalogue we could Have video instruction with illustrations on what to do next etc. Yes I fancy that. Should we feature Super Librarian or Sexy Librarian, or maybe Conan......
I watched "Do you want to be a librarian"
While we are discussing the explosion of blogs, social networking and video-sharing sites - the librarian in this clip were coming to terms with microfilm, motion pictures, record player. Getting word about libraries out to the public could be done via - newspapers, radio, film etc.
Looking at this clip reminded me that yes we have come along way and yes we have kept up with technology even if we lag behind a bit. So I gues we'd better get blogging and podding, and networking -socially. The roles remain the same though - cataloguer, reference libarian, circulation librarian - they were able to sit down on the job!!! Chidrens librarians...............
Our abilities will be challenged but we will derive satisfaction>>>>>>>>>>>>>
