Hey, this is neat, it’s OneWebDay, the mission of which is to “create, maintain, advance and promote a global day to celebrate online life: September 22.”
Their about us page provides a list of project ideas for celebrating the web and its usefulness to our daily working and personal lives.
We certainly have a bunch of stories to tell around here about how WJ has changed working lives for library staff. Should we collect them and contribute to the OneWebDay project?
This is what caught my eye:
The Saturday date isn’t the most convenient (slow student day) so I was thinking of setting up a camera and interviewing faculty/staff/students on either the Wednesday or Thursday before and then putting up the results on the Saturday.
Susan Crawford, who’s one of the chief organizers of this, did an interesting interview over at Juxtaviews.com.
In it she says:
Hey! what a cool idea! We’d love to point to your videos from WJ (assuming you’ll post them on youtube?) when they are up. Will you let us know??
Sure!
Okay, here’s the link to the finished video:
