Who doesn't love youtube? It's not even blocked by websense! It's like having a personal tutor to teach whatever you need to know - not sure about knitting socks? check out youtube. Want to know how to download a youtube video and change the format so you can play it? just ask youtube. This is a library video produced by Greene County Libraries in Ohio - and it's simply entertaining. I especially like the snippets from both Sesame Street and old Ghostbusters movie.
DIY Professional Development - I decided to try the Booklist Webinar Archive for something a little bit more educational. Their newest webinar was entitled YA Announcements: Need to Know Titles for Teens, and that caught my interest. Working in a public school library means that our YA section is well used, but keeping up with new series and titles for some very avid teen readers isn't always an easy thing to do. So here goes....What a great source of information it turned out to be. Short synopses of several new spring releases - lots of great books coming up - made a few notes of a few promising titles, and will keep them in mind for purchases later on.
