Videos online

Well, I have found the ultimate time-suckage device. Here are a few favourite videos from YouTube. The first one has a library theme, so the waste of time can be rationalised (sort of).



This next video is entirely unrelated to libraries, but I really rather like it.



As for using online videos in a library environment- it could be used to advertise upcoming events. I often get e-mails with YouTube links to amusing videos. Possibly a library could make a video advertising an upcoming event, then e-mail the interested borrowers with the link. It might take a long time to make the video, but it also might be more interesting than getting a newsletter in the mail.
