YouTube - Awesome!!!!

What can I say about YouTube other than it's incredibly addictive, and of course AWESOME? Once you start looking, you start thinking of other videos you've got to try and find, like that crazy cartoon you used to watch as a kid. Even worse, you think, "I know, I could upload my own video!" :O)! Who knows? Maybe your child could be the next Justin Bieber!!! It's really easy to use. It does require adult supervision if you have young kids - the videos that come up for an innocent search could result in some objectionable selections. Another reason why it's so important for the family computer to be in a public area of the house! I think YouTube would be a fantastic resource in promoting the library. Aside from adding video in how to intiate a search on the computer or introducing staff, you could share footage from library events. Not only would it be fun for the people who participated in the event, but it might encourage others who haven't attended before to give it a try next time. How about creating a video of a booktalk and adding that to the Library's website? Couldnt' librarians share successful displays and events with each other using YouTube, also? Uses for YouTube in the library setting are endless!
