I am not unfamiliar with YouTube as family members will often upload their videos to YouTube and this is better than e-mailing large files to everyone. However, I am not convinced that it can play a large part in our library community. I cannot see the advantage of uploading a video to YouTube over just placing it on the library website. This is what we have done with a marketing video of the library - and those interested in seeing it can go to the library's webpage rather than trying to find it on YouTube. I can see that there could be advantages of having the sessions of a conference, for example, placed on YouTube, where there is no permanent website.
I certainly enjoyed "Introducing the book" - it was very funny and relevant as the monk moves from scroll to book. Just like the problems we have all had moving from printed material to electronic material.
There is probably lots of similar material on YouTube but I would never have the time to find it!
