Week 11 # 21 Video & Podcasts

# 21   I had already discovered  YouTube but had never spent any time exploring this site –  only watched a few videos that had been recommended for being so funny and entertaining.

After doing a Library search I was served everything from soup to nuts!  I saw puppets demonstrating their library’s drive-up window, the fast-forward construction site a of a new library built with in three minutes, and promos for new self-checkout machines.

   Oh, let’s not forget my favorite  video called “Finding Love at the Library”.  Senior citizens were being taught how to use the mouse to maneuver them through the process of dating on the web.

Librarians are being very creative making videos that are both practical and entertaining and I could see our library using them for event awareness, fundraising projects, and launching new children’s programs. Having patrons, both adult and teens, involved in the video process would be great.
