Write a blog entry discussing how you felt about the experience of using YouTube and what you think about this service. Do you see any potential uses for Podcasting in the library? If so what and why?
YouTube has many videos just for fun and enjoyment but there are also some educational one. I browsed through a great selection of videos dealing with library services. I was really surprised to see that there are a lot of libraries that are taking advantage of this tool since many of their patrons are very loyal YouTube users.
Therefore, there is a lot of potential for podcasting in the library because even if it’s just an infomercial about the library and its resources it helps get the library name out there in different mediums. Also it can help to create short videos on how to find resources in the library. It makes the library more welcoming and a little more hip to the new generation of users.
This is a great and funny library YouTube, created by the Rod libraries services:
