Is anyone else a fan of the show 24? I certainly am, and thus I was delighted to find this fun video available on YouTube. I was nervous about this video at first because I didn't see a disclaimer indicating that animals were NOT harmed in the making of this film...nor was there any indication that Jack Rabbit Bauer would emerge from his adventure unscathed. But hey- I took a chance and I think it's really a fun video to watch - so enjoy! :)
I think this site could definitely be useful for libraries. Thinking back a few posts about Library 2.0 and Rick Anderson's thoughts on "icebergs", I think we could use YouTube to educate patrons. We could create trainings on collection (or library) specific resources, or on how to go about using a certain tool or database. Also, I think we could use YouTube to publicize library-sponsored events, or events in which the library would participate. This could give patrons a taste of what they could experience when attending a program or event - kind of like a commercial.
I know this is kind of a stretch, but maybe even non-profit community groups like the Literacy council could create a short video using this technology to encourage volunteers to participate in the community outreach activities. I think this tool could provide a nice interactive dimension to libraries' communications with their patrons and interactions with their communities.
