Videos Everywhere

It seems there is a video about everything! And who would have the time to watch even .0001% of them!

Perhaps we could have a video on eLibCat with all the information that can currently be found in the handouts for new customers. At the point of joining the library we tend to overload customers with information.

We could also share our promotional activities across the library service via video on the Wiki.


It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.

Wikipedia and Poe

A quick Internet search via Google for information about Edgar Allan Poe leads you to Wikipedia. Here you will find all the information, references and links you need to get an overview of the life and works of Poe - an excellent example of the power of Wikis.



But, as the examples in "23 Things" show, & our Wetpaint Wiki, a Wiki doesn't have to be as big as Wikipedia, nor does it have to be open to all and sundry.



So look happier than Edgar does in this image.
