As a wrap up for the week,
we read and heard lots about Librarians and our roles within libraries and
other cultural institutions, particularly how librarians deal with technology.
I thought you might enjoy
watching these four short YouTube videos about librarians and IT professionals.
You can watch the first three in any order. Save the fourth for last.
Enjoy!
Personally, I use
technology as a tool for my writing, my teaching, and more. I don’t really see
myself as a techie, yet I have decades of experience. Where I see technology
fitting into librarianship is my ability to use technology to find answers. By
that I mean, I use databases and catalogues to find the information I seek. I
am less interested in designing the databases and catalogues, their structure
and how they work. But give me a database and I’ll figure out its method of
madness, its order, arrangement, and access points. That’s the skill I’ve
cultivated for print and digital reference tools. What about you?
And now for some comic
relief: A cute video about books at play http://youtu.be/SKVcQnyEIT8
