I also will be thinking about good ideas to "steal" from places like youtube after reading your post.Dorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693461411926623900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554341755145056576.post-88247132149678034292011-09-25T13:08:50.788-07:002011-09-25T13:08:50.788-07:00The sidebars are one of my favorite things about Y...The sidebars are one of my favorite things about YouTube too—I think it's an effective way of organizing what might otherwise be an overwhelming amount of content.<br />And thanks for the video about manuscripts in the Library of Congress (my favorites were the watercolors of 19th-century China and the ship's log with the little whales stamped in it). You're right, the librarian's passion for his subject definitely comes across. I also love that video and digital collections give me the opportunity to see things like how people's handwriting looked, and what they wrote in the margins—without having to be a researcher or make a trip to a distant library or museum.Stephanie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00768147647112209796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554341755145056576.post-74333088930226509292011-09-24T11:52:27.136-07:002011-09-24T11:52:27.136-07:00Hi Ruth,

You mention the lack of permanence, but I think that could also be seen as a positive – new content or updates can be generated quickly. And as more videos are converted and created for electronic dissemination, they could be more permanent than say, a DVD that gets scratched.Sláintehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793402840727347753noreply@blogger.com
