Found on YouTube -an interesting view of "The Librarian"

I rather liked this official US 'call-to-arms' from the 1950's to recruit new librarians. It is fairly long, at just over 10 minutes, but its a bit of a gem. Although its very dated, there are some things that still ring true for libraries and librarians today. I especially liked the query at the start, 'are books your friends'? I guess in the context of today's libraries and the 23 Things, we're more likely to ask 'is [Google]* your friend?'

Metablogging - Blog entry about blogging

1st of the 23 Things - The Blog!

If metadata is information about information, then I'm guessing that metablogging would be blogging about blogging. Here is my first of the 23 Things; getting myself out there on the web with a blog to chart my progress with the "Things".

All in all the process was pretty straightforward, the only issue I had was when I tried to get a little too clever and embed a YouTube video that I thought would be a bit of fun. I tried to insert the video but it just kept giving me an error message. If anyone has a suggestion as to how I could do this in future posts, I'd be most grateful.

Good luck to all those on the 23 Things journey.

Cheers.
