It was interesting to check the videos on You tube & Google videos which was the exercise for Week 6. I particularly liked the Qand ANJ:Now your library is open late night too! This video was a brilliant marketing strategy. I also liked guides to using library services. This video promoted the use of the Reference area, research assistance, databases and other reference services. Mosman library under Google videos had their guest speakers' presentations on videos posted. A really good idea - even if you missed out on these presentations on the day, they are there for you to watch.
It would be a good promotional tool for libraries if we can publicise our programs and events via video. Seeing is believing they say! Videos of Guests authors, oral histories, book launches, promoting our youth programs like the HSC lectures or even promoting our Databses and navigating through on how to get started on them could be made into a video and posted on You tube. More and more people are now into this web technology and there is a good audience out there who would be interested in seeing such stuff. Not only can we raise the profile of our library this way, our library can be heard and seen on the world wide web!
Here's a short video on why you should fall in love with libraries!
