YouTube offers a convenient way to reach out to the largest mass of patrons in the Library and outside of its' walls. YouTube offers anyone with an internet connection the ability to upload video clips and share them with colleagues and the world all for free. One of the biggest advantages is the ability to upload videos on any topic in any format.
The advantages to using this software to promote your Library are amazing. You can also add the video to your blog or send the video to a cell phone to provide easy access anywhere. I would like to make a Library film promoting the various services that we offer, load them to YouTube, and then make the link available on its Website for its patrons.
This could be very beneficial: patrons who need help when the Library is unavailable, an instruction method for distance education students, and another method for directing possible patrons to the library catalog.
Podcasting enables Libraries to disseminate news and information, provide audio tours of the Library, and to make the audio portion of
Library programming available to the world. I would really like to use podcasting to update the old video collection that I have--there is a lot available for a minimal budget.
