Week 9 - YouTube and Podcasting

Well, this is week 9 and we reviewed YouTube and Podcasts.

Here are a couple of really fun videos from YouTube:
Library Zombies
Zombie bloopers

I think YouTube would be a great tool for a library. We could highlight all kinds of things: exhibits, special collections, programs, displays, etc. (I think we may have some students in the library in the summer or fall working on videos for the library.)

Podcasts would also be a great way to highlight various meetings, programs, etc. within a library.

The Library Channel had some great podcasts; check it out!

Both podcasts and youtube are downloadable and portable -- both would be great for libraries; I would see myself using them both!
