Online Video

Now this is a technology I can see public libraries being able to make use of. It could be the basic 'how to get the best out of your library' type effort or other uses such as publicising upcoming events, explanations of special collections within the library, showing a storytime session to encourage people to come along or recording special events. Equipment is such these days that it is not that difficult for many people to be able to produce such a video, making it a reasonable financial proposition for libraries.

However - on a lighter note and after after spending quite some time perusing videos that might relate to swimming in some way, and had a bit of humour, I found this one of Mr Bean, doing what only Mr Bean can do at a public swimming pool. I hope you enjoy it.

  2. Like your idea's on ways to use online video's to promote library programes.

  3. Promoting events seems to be a major possibility for You Tube as long as we make sure that we get permission from any members of the public who may be in the videos. I wonder too whether we can even assume that all staff would feel comfortable being posted online.
