Thing #20 YouTube

I watched the "Library Book Cart Drill Team" video, which is cute and promotes library etiquete. The "London Public Library New Website Launch" video is a good marketing idea for any library. The "Harvard School Library" video was not helpful at all; individuals walking around looking around the stacks of a library and at the research tables is not my idea of promoting library services. I do realize some people make videos just for fun. The "TexShare Databases" video was good, but would have been better with audio; this type of video would be easy to create and post to our library website without too much effort. The "Library Gaming Event" viedo is a good example of how our library could increase teen gaming participation. YouTube is a viable means for Fort Worth Library to promote library services including reference; genealogy resources; archive collections; and youth and media resources.
