Thing #20 I Tube, YouTube

There is a great video clip for library training on YouTube. It is called Angry Librarian and can be found here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7XvAakX__cQ
Although not filmed at QL, the issues that this library worker deals with (often inappropriately) are common at QL.

But YouTube is also great for entertainment. My favorite clip is from the Carol Burnett Show with Robin Williams as the guest, performing a black comedy skit called The Funeral. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfDyTUiL8xs

I liked that the site is easy to use and easy to search. I really like the "cloud" results, bringing up videos similar to what one is looking for. I found the Angry Librarian and The Funeral during a bubble or cloud search. I was looking for something else, and serendipity lead me to them.
