I've been watching YouTube videos as part of the Learning 2.0 course. What a great way of sharing video! I think what I like best is the fact that it can be watched anytime, from anywhere in the world, by whoever wants to.
I'm interested in it's use as a training resource, that can be used to introduce new concepts or products to staff. As it can be used at anytime, training can occur at the user's own pace & convenience. This could come in useful for training staff on features of the library management system, for example.
We could also store an "Introduction to the library" video there, aimed at new library users. This could run on library PCs & OPACs maybe, for when a customer just wants to learn more about our services. And having it linked off our website would be an obvious plus. We could even have a number of videos, like the old "Pathfinders" to help people use the different sections of the library - Family History, for example, or we could have an introduction video for each branch, hilighting the features available.
