#18...Podcasts & Videos
YouTube....This is another fun site. This is what all the kids log onto when they come to use the computers at the library. It was fun to look at some of the videos. Pretty easy to embed a video into your blog. Someday i may take on the challenge of Jumpcut and upload photos to make a video. My daughters friend does this with her daughter (1 year old) and sends them out to friends via e-mail. Fun to see!! I was going to register on YouTube, but could not come up with a (username) that was available. Shows that there must be (thousands) of users!! When I have more time I will pursue it.
The video I chose for my blog "Having Fun Isn't Hard when you have a Library Card", thought it was cute because I do work a lot with pre-school children.

#17...ELM Productivity Tools
I really like the ELM databases. I have showed students and parents this database when they are doing research for papers for school. They are amazed as to what is available. My favorite are the Proquest Newsstand, Info Trac Junior, Info Trac Student and the full text magazine articles. I did attend an ELM workshop that was held in our system in the fall of 2006. I tried to create the "Childrens Health" feed by changing the URL, but could not get it to work?? I think I followed the new information, but to no avail. I do like the ELM databases and will encourage patrons to use it. We do have the ELM handouts at each computer station, but still need to one-on-one show them how it works.
