I LOVE Prangstgrup, so I had to post one of these videos. Most of you are probably familiar with their "Library Musical: Reading on a Dream." If you haven't seen that, then WATCH it, you won't regret it. I found their "Public Hygiene" (getting to work on time at any cost) quite amusing, too. Watch it below:
What's not to love about YouTube, other than the videos that really are a waste of time? Many of the videos are very funny, and this is a revolution, whereby people can self-publish their videos. I love the fact that YouTube makes it easy to share videos through e-mail and blogs like this. It's also cool that you can join a discussion about a video you liked or couldn't stand, and you can search by topic or keyword for videos. YouTube also hosts contests for those submitting videos. A library might adapt these ideas on their website by highlighting particular materials owned by the library and asking patrons to make a video to "advertise" the book/movie/whatever, then give an award out to the best one. Or, the library could link to users' research inspired videos hosted on YouTube. I'm just brainstorming here--so far, I'm not really big on these ideas, but it's something worth mulling over and maybe something will develop over time and discussion, or just fall from the sky one day.
