Flickr and YouTube

This is Week 4 of RCPL Tech Challenge

While exploring Flickr, I found some beautiful pictures of the architecture of RCPL and added a few of my own.
Although I do not use Flickr, I have enjoyed many of the pictures and slideshows on the blogs of others. What a great way to view and learn about the crafts of others, especially the knitting and quilting sites. I definitely will use it when my camera and computer learn to work together.

RCPL's use could be very wide range. Book covers of new additions, program promotions, and library promotion in general are just a few. In house staff education could also be explored.

I must admit that I did not know how I would use YouTube for myself until I searched for quilting videos.
They were vast and great! For me, the instructional aspect would be of most use.

RCPL use could be either in house or for the public. Lin Ko's Sushi programs would be a good example for encouraging participation in future programs of similar nature. Sew Devine is another group that could use brief videos to promote participation of patrons. Summer reading. Oh! the list goes on and on. Patron education in the areas of use of library Staff education would be a very good use of YouTube. (For the "slow learners" it could be viewed again and again.)
