I don't visit You Tube much but it has been useful when the children's performances at church have been recorded and posted on You Tube. I can email the link to friends and family and they see Austin and Alivia perform.
You Tube is a great marketing tool for libraries to use to show off their services, librarians, programs, collections. I watched the The Adventures of Super Librarian, Super Librarian, A Librarian’s 2.0 Manifesto, and Allen County Public Library Channel videos. The first two videos promoting librarian services were a little cheesy. I wasn't overly impressed with either one but they get the point across. I enjoyed the Librarian's 2.0 Manifesto even though it was a little long. The pictures were pretty amazing and the librarian's message was received: Excel in the advancement of technology to provide excellent library services. The Allen Public Library's video would make for a good commercial and came across much more professional than the 'super' librarian videos.
Cindy just recently sent us a link to Plano Library's video with puppets Eugene and Charlotte promoting Deborah Underwood's books: http://kidsbrain.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/introducing-eugene-and-charlotte/ Cute idea!
I know FPL has used You Tube in the past to promote its special events like the Summer Reading Club and the Storytelling Festival. I searched Frisco Library on You Tube and found a Storytelling Festival video/teaser from 2009. I also found the Summer Promo video that was recently recorded in Mayra's backyard using the Dig Up a Good Book theme. Nicely done!
