Week 6 videos online

On to week 6 and videos online. I was aware of youtube and had seen many instances of videos being embedded in blogs, websites, etc. Again though I was surprised by the different applications and roles that video plays and could play in the library environment.



Being able to follow the progress of a new library building (some libraries use blogs and photographs) but this opens this up to a whole new level. Also documenting author visits and events in the library and being able to share it with others who could not be there or as a promotional tool. Also being able to show patrons (or new staff) an introductory video to the library would also be very beneficial. One example of campbelltown libraries use of video and youtube is below




Again I guess the possibilities are endless and we should be aware of these things when we are looking at any events, etc in the library where we could use these things
