The InfoTubeys
Last week on Tuesday night at Information Today's Computers in Libraries was the First Annual InfoTubey Award ceremony.
I was on the panel of judges and was present when the idea was hatched at Internet Librarian lunch in November 2006. (We beat YouTube and Thomson Gale to the punch!).
There were dozens of great submissions. Maybe we should create a vlog next year just for the entrants.
Here are the rest of the winners, and one acceptance speech via YouTube.
The L Team - Nick Baker of Williams College Libraries. (the force behind “March of the Librarians.”
What’s Up? - Arlington Heights Memorial Library
The Adventures of Super Librarian - McCraken County Public Library
What Are Your Three Reasons? - New Jersey State Library
Seneca Library Holiday Song - Seneca College Markham Library (InfoTubey Acceptance Speech)
I hope this will become an annual event. Maybe your viral video will find itself on the red carpet!
You do realize that if you all watch these winners we'll push a bunch of library videos up the favourites list at YouTube making then even more viral....? (grin) What do you want your users to see?
Enjoy.

I was at the award ceremony at CIL, and I have witnessed few events that created such good feelings in the audience. People not only thought the creativity and execution was cool, they saw these projects as bringing together a lot of library staff to work collaboratively on an interesting, fun project that puts their library in a good light. How often do we all get to do that? I told ITI that they had a hit on their hands, and that they'd better do it next year. I mean, why waste such a cool logo? https://secure.infotoday.com/InfoTubies/InfoTubey.gif
