You Tube and Libraries: It could be a beautiful relationship

This article examines the benefits of using YOUtube to involve patrons in library communication. The author suggests using YOUtube to promote the library.
--could be great for instructional videos
--film various library services then post on YOUtube.
--tutorials to teach students

Although I thought this article presented some good ideas, I think libraries will get to this point when they are ready. We are currently dealing with other technology issues at the moment and attempting to adapt to these changes; throwing YOUtube into the mix might just be a little too much.
