Week 10: Wikis and video sharing

20. Watch YouTube videos people have made about libraries

Here's an interesting video from YouTube about RFID. It's around 2.5 minutes long and gives a very simple overview of how RFID works in the University of Oklahoma. It was filmed in 2007.

It's not perfect, and some of the images a bit "fuzzy", but it gives a quick and simple overview of the RFID principle, how it relates to single items, and how easy it is for clients to check out items.

I just love YouTube. It's so addictive though! I usually just watch it for fun at home, but I have to watch my monthly MB allocation credits because I'm only on a 400 MB per month plan. Too much YouTubing is not good in one go!

I use it to check out the latest video clips of songs, mainly because I want to see if the "CD" is worth buying. Often there are film clips of all songs on a CD. I guess I like the concept of a "picture paints a thousand words", so give me something to watch any day over straight text!
