Podcasting and Online Hosted Video

Do you see any potential uses for Podcasting in the library? If so what and why?

I think podcasts are a great way for patrons to learn more about library services. I viewed one from the UT library and was excited to see that they also had accompanying visual material, almost like a video or a vlog. I'm not sure if this can properly be called a podcast, but I think this is a great way for libraries to reach out to their patrons.

My YouTube Experience

I'm definitely a fan of YouTube and think it has great possibilities for incorporation in the library world. Even with this MLA class and the videos that enhance the content, we can see that videos can supplement instructional content. Especially with programs that are heavily distance-learning-based, I think videos will become more and more frequently used.
I would love to make a video myself some day. It seems like there would be a lot of work involved, but I think it would be fun to make a labor of love and/or something to enhance the patron's library experience.

I found this one made to advertise a library. I love the pacing music. It certainly holds your attention and shows you the beauty of reading. I wonder how they shot the war scenes!
