Thing 20

MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE BEEN USING YOU TUBE FOR QUITE AWHILE. I HAVE TO SAY THOUGH, I WAS QUITE IMPRESSED A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN MY DAD SENT ME A YOU TUBE VIDEO IN AN E MAIL. SINCE MY PARENTS ARE ALWAYS CALLING ME WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INTERNET OR THEIR COMPUTERS, I AM ALWAYS IMPRESSED WHEN THEY FIND A NEW TECHNOLOGY ALL ON THEIR OWN.

I FINISHED LISTENING TO THE LAST LECTURE BY RANDY PAUSCH LAST WEEKEND AND SO THAT CAME TO MIND TO SEARCH FOR TODAY WHEN EXPLORING YOU TUBE. I LOVED THE BOOK. HOPEFULLY THIS CLIP WILL WORK.

I DO NOTICE SOME OF OUR YOUNGER PATRONS USING YOU TUBE ON OUR COMPUTERS. I THINK THOUGH THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER USES. WE COULD USE YOU TUBE FOR INSTANCE TO ADD VIDEO OF COMPUTER TRAINING AND JUST HAVE OUR CUSTOMERS WATCH THE VIDEO INSTEAD OF NEEDING SOMEONE TO WALK THEM THROUGH IT. WE MIGHT ALSO USE IT FOR STAFF TRAINING. WE COULD ALSO ADD STAFF VIDEO OF BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS OR VIDEOS ON HOW TO USE THE LIBRARY. IMAGINE A PATRON WATCHING A VIDEO AT HOME OF HOW TO SIGN UP FOR A LIBRARY CARD AND JUST COMING IN TO THE LIBRARY AND KNOWING WHAT TO DO. I GUESS MY ONLY POINT IS THAT THERE ARE MANY MANY THINGS THE LIBRARY COULD DO WITH YOU TUBE.
