Some ways that libraries could use WebVideos to assist and not just amuse their patron? We just put signs that the self checkouts that illustrate how to check out a book, how to get a DVD out of a security case...I wonder if having a video demonstrating step by step would be helpful. A library tour? Book groups filmed and posted might be interesting. I know that the Teen librarians have been playing around with podcasts and webvideos (I think that anything that gets/keeps teens interested in the library is great).
I remember when the internet was new and I could spend hours surfing, just looking to see what I could see. I am sure that YouTube has the same appeal. I don't spend endless hours surfing anymore, but know people who love YouTube, and are always finding new funny vids to watch. Honestly, I have less patience that they do (that is why I like RSS so much). I did post 2 videos on my blog. The AACR2 trailer came from Terri in Technical Services, and who doesn't love Sesame Street!
