#18 Youtube official

Fancy Youtube again.

I never thought that youtube could be utilised as a marketing tool for library awareness.It could be worth a go trying this format, as now a days there are a lot of visual learners out there.
Surely the music video from our exercises, with its jazzed up music and visuals could be a way we could reach the younger generation, such as teens and children.

I think it could be a way of teaching databases, opac searching and advertising the various services offered at the library.Possibly even showing rhymetimes and storytime sessions, holiday programmes, author visits and other activities offered. What about a library tour?

Who knows. The possibilities could be endless.

I found a really good example of this in the following link (I tried to upload the video but it didnt work)

I liked the wide selection of topics available for viewing. No wonder we get a lot of patrons coming into the library to view things on youtube.
