[MCN-L] Best YouTube practices
We have been putting video up on YouTube this past year. Our channel consists primarily of those uploads, along with some favorited fellow-traveler videos. Things are at the point where it seems like it would be good to do more linkages between some of the videos--put them into the equivalent of flickr sets or collections, for instance. Does YouTube have such tools (beyond the use of folksonomic tagging, which I assume matters, but can also be pretty generic)? I am thinking about a way to link several videos from one concert, or conference, or department, or whatever. While I am at it, does YouTube have forums for the people uploading video--the equivalent of the flickr forums? I haven't found such so far, but I starting at no knowledge. ari
[MCN-L] Best YouTube practices
Ari, I am not a YouTube expert - so I'll be eager to hear any other replies... but on our YouTube Channel we have created play lists -- a group of four or six videos that are then grouped together and can be played one right after the other. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/arfminfo#p/p I have found some helpful advice here in the YouTube Handbook and the Creator's Corner http://www.youtube.com/t/creators_corner http://www.youtube.com/t/yt_handbook_home And - lastly - community Forums are here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube?hl=en - David - David Lewis, Curator Aurora Regional Fire Museum www.AuroraRegionalFireMuseum.org -Original Message- From: Ari Davidow aridavi...@gmail.com To: Museum Computer Network Listserv mcn-l at mcn.edu Sent: Wed, Sep 15, 2010 12:17 pm Subject: [MCN-L] Best YouTube practices We have been putting video up on YouTube this past year.

[MCN-L] YouTube video linking
Here's what I don't get. That video about using annotation claims to be part of a series. I can't find the series from the page on which that video appears on YouTube. I was hoping that there is a more obvious way to tie things together! ari On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 4:51 PM, Stephanie Weaver sweaver at experienceology.com wrote: Ari, You'll want to begin using the annotations feature in YouTube.

[MCN-L] Analog tape to digital conversion services
I've been asked about services that perform digitization of analog audio (reel-to-reel) tapes. Has anyone used such a service that they could recommend? A couple of related questions - are there digital storage media for audio considered remotely archival? Or is it similar to visual data that's best kept on spinning disk and migrated in perpetuity? What types of meta-data can one ask a service provider of this sort to embed in the files? -- Chuck Patch
[MCN-L] Analog tape to digital conversion services
The Association of Moving Image Archivists website has excellent resources, including for audio: http://www.amianet.org/resources/links.php#edu Electronic Arts Intermix also has excellent preservation pages -- mostly about video, but there's audio info in there, too: http://www.eai.org/resourceguide/preservation.html It's been around awhile, but the (c) statement is 2009, so presumably updated. Chris Lacinak (http://www.avpreserve.com/) is knowledgeable and has been very generous with advice over the years. The LOC digital preservation pages might be of help: http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/news/2010/news_archive1003.html Good luck!
