YouTube and Libraries





Here's an obviously inappropriate example of YouTube being used in a Library.

The technologies used by YouTube can easily be applied to libraries. Instructional videos for library clients demonstating how to use the EasyLoan machines, scanners, photocopiers, booking laptops and study rooms online, how to search the Library catalogue, video tours of campus libraries, etc. The University of South Australia Library have embedded a number of online videos on the Library homepage under the heading of Online Training, for example, tutorials for efficient search strategies in various databases. These technologies can also be used for staff training and development.
