Youtube

Youtube is a revelation when using it on broadband as previous efforts have been on dial up and very, very slow. I chose a brief video about libraries to view, but found that what first appeared to be one minute plus was actually one hour plus. This enabled me to see that entire lectures and presentations could be viewed using YOutube, as well as brief clips for promotion and training.
Viewing a quality video in this way is almost like being there. The possibilities for library websites seem endless and would make for exciting viewing. Those who cannot attend an author presentation might find it very helpful to be able to see it later on line.
