YouTube

YouTube is big - really big! It is an incredible site. There is so much there that you could spend hours searching, clicking on links and viewing and hardly scrape the surface. I have used it many times to rediscover some song, movie or TV show. There are also training videos of all descriptions. I have often been amazed at what I could find there. Of course, there is the other side of YouTube where people use it to grab their 15 minutes of fame, or in some cases infamy.

Love it or hate it, YouTube could be a great tool a library could use to promote its services or host training vodcasts. The video below, Pink Glove Dance, was created to raise awareness of breast cancer. Check out the cleaner dancing with his mop in the hall - that guy has all the moves!
