The Library of Congress is on You Tube!

I had already planned to do only one more post to this blog, but the news that the Library of Congress has its own feed on You Tube (since late March 2009) was just too important not to mention: http://www.youtube.com/user/LibraryOfCongress.
I happened on to this today while avocationally searching for an obscure U.S. military microfilm from 1949 for a French historian friend of mine in Normandy. Sitting in my own office beats making a trip to Washington, D.C. to dig in the National Archives and review films on site for him like I had to do ten years ago.
It would seem to me that the media professionals "in the house" can use this development as evidence to lobby for terminating the blockade of You Tube for teachers in MPS system. MPS' ignorance is not bliss for those of us who need that resource for making instruction come alive.
The LOC also has a blog (yawn), Twitter feeds (yawn) and regular podcasts (not a yawn), which include a fascinating and ever-growing collection of digitalized resources like historical recordings of music, interviews and much more.
MPS, are you listening?
