Youtube is great for libraries

There's some fun videos on youtube. Looked up Manly library and the closest I could find was a clip on a girl with short hair and a jacket who was taken for being a guy - hence her title "Manly in the library. Harper College video library tour is trying to be funny and just about succeeds, like their deadpan approach to humour though.
There's heaps of humour about libraries, maybe this is where our serious image is being challenged. Try Mr Bean in the libary and the Williams College Library Mystery Tour - library welcome video -

Internet banking security

I have to admit I'm not happy with internet banking. If push comes to shove the banks have it all in their favour. At the moment if something goes wrong they are happy to refund the money.

But wait, that takes about 24 days so you will need another account. I wouldn't like to ask them for emergency funds! I'll post an article on this on the Brisbane City Council Library service wiki, we librarians are so trusting about technology.
