Podcasting and Online Hosted Video

When I browse through the Podcast.net I discovered a lot of interesting topics available. When I narrowed down to Health I still found numerous site to draw my attention. Among other sites, I checked out the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and Calude Moore Health Sciences Library podcasts which are quite innovative and enlightening.
I think one of the largest advantages of using YouTube is the ability to upload videos of anything you like in any format. We want to convey to people that libraries are exciting places and people are putting them in the movies, not just for instructional purposes but for fun events and happenings in the library. It can help you promote your library, in addition, anytime you add any new material to your YouTube site, it can be set up to notify the patron of your new material immediately. There is also an RSS feed to notify patrons of content.
I think we can use YouTube as a storhouse for instructional videos with a link that could take the viewer to the library's Web site for more information.
We can store all our Community Health Programs so if someone missed the particular program, they can check it out in our website to view it at their convenience.
We can also use YouTube as a method of introducing resources that are available in the library. I think it can direct the patron back to the main resources we provide for them, letting them know that the library is keeping up with the 21st century.
