Bob Dylan Wants YOU (To Finish Tech Trek on Time)
So what do you think of the fact this neat application comes with an ad at the end? Should libraries use services that come with ads? Do you ignore ads when you see them, or do ads like this one irritate you? Just something to think about as we remind you that you MUST finish your Tech Trek quests by the end of Week 12 in order to get your MP3 player!

That video was rather spiffy :)
Good video! I liked it and now I know that the Bob Dylan CD is going to be out soon!
Hilarious and a great way to enlist people to finish! :)
I will have to watch it on another computer. I am using one of the old Gateways. The capability of my work computer has been a issue at times with the Quests.
Great video! I liked how you used the signs to motivate people to get the lead out.
Did Kathy Sanders post this? I love the reference to The Beverly Hillbillies!
Very funny. In reference to the ad, I think it was great. I love all things music.
Thanks for all the comments so far! We're glad you all enjoyed the video. :)
Buffy Librarian: Sorry about the video not shouwing up on the Gateways. Since they are getting older, we probably shouldn't be too suprised that sometimes they won't play nice with our Quests. :\
Donna, Kathy S. did have a hand in the post, but not the Beverly Hillbillies reference. It's just a fun coincidence!
The times they are a changing.
But I hope libraries are not going
to accept advertisements, as we are publically funded and hope to stay that way.
But adding videos to our web site certainly would be nice.
Is there going to be a quest 12 or is 11 the last quest?
Yes, there is a Quest 12, which is the last one. It will be up on Monday morning! :)
I guess I've gotten used to ads appearing just about everywhere these days...at least this one is not a "pop up"! I think it's a small "price" to pay for being able to design a neat (but short) video--how often do you get a chance to work with Bob Dylan?!
I loved the video. It is a great way to remind people to finish. I loved the signs.
Allowing corporate sponsors to advertise is a slippery slope. It may seem to not be very important and a source of financial aid, but we need to serious think of the cost. For instance, allowing advertising on children's t-shirts for the summer reading program, I think is too big a price to pay, and do we really need bigger, hotter prizes to get kids to read?
