Library 2.0

Youtube

Libraries could make training videos on how to use a computer, etc. and upload them onto youtube. I had some kids (when I was teaching) who participated in the Readers' Cup and created a fantastic rap about the book Holes. When trying to explain to people how great the Readers' Cup is, it wuold be great to be able to give them the link to youtube. Of course, with school age kids, all sorts of permissions would apply and there is no way that you can monitor or stop certain people watching the video.

The site has lots of rubbish on it, but also some great stuff. I guess it's like the way someone likened the internet to the world's biggest library with all of the books on the floor! Kind of like this youtube video..
