Things 16: YouTube

Alright! YouTube rocks! If you're following this, and you've never tried it, you're in for some fun! Unfortunately, we are one of those library systems that gets blocked, but ONLY on our staff computers! While I know you can find some worthless material on YouTube, you can also find some really worthwhile stuff as well. And yes, perhaps this particular video that have posted may be deemed professionally "worthless", but at least it's entertaining and fun! =-D Can't wait to see everyone else's!

For starters and professionally speaking, ALA and individual systems create Library advertisements and post them to YouTube; in fact, Director's Cut is a nationwide contest that gets teens involved in advertising the library.

In addition to this, SJCPLS does post YouTube videos to promote a variety of services and programs. This afternoon, there was a clip posted front and center on the SJCPLS website: http://www.sjcpls.org/content/great-free-resources-your-local-library. This is DEFINITELY a tool that will benefit me in promoting the library and providing better services to my community.

I will add clips from YouTube either in the privacy of my home either tonight or on the library's public computers tomorrow, seeing as I cannot access YouTube right at this moment. THANKS!
