YOU TUBE AND YOU

Having looked at You tube and Google video it is truly amazing what is available out there and the range of applications that it can be used for. Obviously some of the videos are purely put out there for there entertainment value, I think if some people did a search for libraries and saw some of the video clips of library staff at work and play they may have a different idea about us...well some of us.


I looked at Google videos of Mosman Library, author talks that they have held in the library are there for anyone to watch, I thought it was a great way to engage people who may not know that the library holds those events. It also promotes the library and its services to a wider audience.


When looking at the videos from We love our our NJ libraries and the others they were great at showing the different reasons why people went to there library and it was also a great way to showcase your libraries resources and facilities. I did a search on Australian libraries in You tube there are many great videos done by library staff and by visitors to the libraries. There was a funny one on You tube done by 3 tourists to Brisbane Library it is called "The Brisbane Library".

Yes - it is a good way of seeing what is happening in other libraries.
