Check out this awesome library parody of the Old Spice Commercials from The Harold B. Lee Library Multimedia Unit. I’m seriously impressed with the idea behind and the implementation of this video. And this video from Old Spice in response to my friend Andy Woodworth and others on Twitter.

Library Finds Group on Flickr
Anyone who’s worked in a library in any capacity knows patrons leave behind all sorts of things, some strange, some amusing and some that just make you scratch your head and wonder. Brian Herzog of Swiss Army Librarian has created a Flickr group where we can share these little treasures with each other. Similar to Found Magazine, but just for libraries. Go take a look, join up and share the things you’ve found in your library. Brian says: I’m not uploading anything that seemed personally-identifiable: peoples’ first and last names, phone numbers, email addresses, account login and passwords – and there were a frighteningly large number of these. That’s good advice any contributor should follow. Now go take a picture of that cheesecake pan someone left in the stacks & upload it! Have fun!

T is for Training Meme
The fabulous host of T is for Training, Maurice, has ordered challenged the group to answer these 27 questions with one sentence each. Who am I to ignore an order challenge? 1. Your One Sentence Bio I’m not that kind of librarian. 2. Do you blog? If yes, how did you come up with your blog name? It’s a reference to Barbara Gordon and the all the non-traditional roles librarians fill these days. 3. What is your professional background? I’ve worked in libraries since I was 16. Before I got my MLS I worked with engineers, and my first job after graduating was working with engineers, for some of you this may explain a lot. 4. What training do you do? staff? patrons? types of classes? staff, patron, other libraries that ask me to, A wide range of subjects – reference in the digital age, social media, web 2.0, gaming, time management, tech tools etc 5. What training do you think is most important to libraries right now We need to step up staff training, every staff member should feel comfortable offering basic assistance with any service or technology the library offers. 6. Where do you get your training? Anywhere
