Module 4 Topic 2.Back again. I have tried out the blinx site and the You Tube one. I chose the topic 'climate change'. While I liked the thumb nail pictures on the blinx site where there were numerous ones to choose from I preferred the You Tube ones on the same subject. I found You Tube much more comprehensive and easier to use. I also liked the fact that the duration of the videos were there upfront on the preview picture. I didn't have to search for it.
It took me awhile to realise that Life magazine is actually part of Time! I think searching magazines this way is great. I had a patron ask me the other day about books on child rearing. I found an article just now in one of the Life magazines about the 'middle age child 6-12.' This would have been useful to show that patron.
I have now searched the topic 'family films' (meaning films suitable for families) in all issues of Life and the results were 'films' about families. I will have to refine my search. I entered 'films suitable for families' and I found an issue of Life dated 1949. Fantastic. I think I'll use this site all the time(no pun intended!) if I notice, while I am shelving, an article in a magazine that I want to read. I won't have to take out the whole magazine! Great.
