YouTube & Google Video

I have just spent an amazing hour looking at mostly YouTube videos! The Mosman library on Google video was just fantastic. What a great way to capture and share such prominent guest speakers at the library.
I searched YouTube for storytimes and found lots of videos to select from. Some libraries are doing commercials via YouTube to promote their storytimes others are simply capturing a storytime live. Really good to see.
I found a terrific video called 'Angry Librarian' which ran for 4 mins. It was hilarious!
OH&S is such an issue in workplaces these days and we are always including OH&S when training new staff. We also remind all staff at training days or at staff meetings of basic OH&S issues which can sometimes become a little mundane however YouTube had a number of good video clips and one in particular was made in Victoria. It was quite amusing with a serious element to it which makes it fun to watch but taking on the general message of OH&S.

It sounds like you had a great time exploring. It would be great if you could embed one of the OH&S videos as they sound really interesting.
