Teachertube: Worldcat video

Just had a quick look at Teachertube, the educational version of Youtube. I have decided to do a critical evaluation on this video

McCormack A (2009),Multi Library Search at WorldCat, Teachertube,USA, viewed 4/3/2010,-http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=102155&title=Multi_Library_Search_at_WorldCat

This video sets out how to search the Worldcat site for an item in a library nearest to your actual location. There isn't any information provided about the authority for this video. Anne's tutorial is clear and concise, she speaks slowly and clearly and gives you plenty of time to follow the links that she uses. The actual visual is a little fuzzy but not enough to create a problem. I used the steps that she outlines to find a book about Tasmanian Tigers in the State Library of Tasmania.

  1. Video is very useful as a demo of World cat - thanks for sharing it with us. It is good too that you checked the procedure outlined in the video to see if it really works!
