“Vince: What’s the name of your label?
Rob: Top Five Records.”
If you’ve seen the movie or read the book High Fidelity, you’ll know that one of the ongoing narrative elements is the use of Top 5 lists. This week in LIBR 559M, we were asked to contribute our top 5 uses of social media in libraries to a collaborative list which we created. But I love making lists (insert librarian joke here), so since this week’s module is about creation, I’ve created a few more “Top 5” library-related lists of my own.
Top 5 Videos:
- No Hope (Security Man…ual series from VPL)
- Roving Librarians
- Study Like a Scholar, Scholar (BYU)
- Librarians Do Gaga (UW)
- What is A Public Library
Top 5 Blogs:
Top 5 Uses of Social Media for Teens:
- Teen RC
- Darien Library (specifically the TeenCast and Made sections)
- Allen County Public Library (especially Bella’s Book Club)
- My Own Cafe – Southeastern Massachusetts Library System
- Seattle Public Library (great Push to Talk Blog and podcasts)
I should note that these are largely based on things I read or knew about already – if you have other ideas to contribute or have your own “top 5” I’d love to hear it!
