I liked the Library of Congress youtube channel so much I wound up evaluating it instead of the teachertube video we were supposed to look at, but I didn't forget that assignment. I found a video on teachertube about Presidential Libraries, something I've always wondered about, and this video http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=97570&title=Presidential_Libraries, despite being aimed at school age children, contained a lot of interesting information (Reagan's Presidential Library in California contains a previous Air Force One - yes, the whole plane). It was uploaded by Teachertube user errce whose profile is unfortunately devoid of information that would allow me to check their authority, although the video didn't make any claims that couldn't be easily verified elsewhere.
This RSS feed http://www.libraryjournal.com/RSS is for Library Journal, a website about the Library industry that has a great many interesting articles - all of them avaliable on the RSS feed. Libaryjournal itself is a well established website with material provided by Librarians, Library Technicians and other Library workers, so it's reasonably authoritative, although each article has to be evaluated individually as they're written by different people. It's a very useful source of information for anyone who works in the Library field or aspires to.
Also, http://www.libworm.com/ is a site that collates a huge number of different Library themed Rss Feeds. Strongly recommended.

The video about presidential libraries was really interesting. I didn't know about them before I viewed the video so thanks for sharing it with us.
