You Tube

After looking at some of the library videos on You tube I can see lots of ways that they could be used in our hibrary. A video clip on a library web site would be a great way to advertise the library and its services. The clip could give a tour of the library. They would see where everything was in the library and how to do things, and where everything was.

A video clip could be used to promote an event like Book Week. The library would be all decorated so they could see that, and the events that were happening in that week could be described. The books could be shown, and if bookings were required they could be told how to do that. This could also be done with any activity the library was running.

The book group that I run could be promoted by use of a video clip.

Video clips could also be used for staff orientation purposes. Already our CEO uses video links to aquaint us with important new information.

I thought the Super Librarian was quite a fun clip and a good way to advertise the library especially for younger people.
