I love YouTube. There's a video for every taste. They're fun and easy to find and play. I've embedded two in my blog that you might enjoy. Ruth Harrison is one of my favorite bits from the "Prairie Home Companion." Carl & Ray apparently are characters in Blockbuster commercials, but here they are trying to use a mouse.As far as library use goes, I think we should make flip videos of staff promoting programs, such as Summer Reading program events, our Annual Meeting, or upcoming author visits. Where they exist, we could link to or embed YouTube videos of some of our authors. For example, here is a trailer for Stephen L. Carter's new book, "New England White." He'll be at the library later this month. (Thing #11)
Does the library have any flip video cams? I've seen quick book talks on YouTube-- 30 seconds that could be fun to use to promote a book discussion or upcoming event.
