youtube

I thought the lego youtube sites were amazing.
I particularly enjoyed the batman lego from youtube.
Liverpool Plains via google video was good & the music with the video clip was inspiring.
Also I found under the Kogarah search a clip with the reconstruction of Kogarah Oval (home of the St.George-Illawarra Dragons Rugby League Club) in progress.
However, the best clip I discovered was a timelapse of construction of the State Library of Queensland. This is really amazing. It only takes a about 2 minutes but it shows the construction from scratch to finish.
I think Google video & YouTube would be useful in promoting libraries in many ways.
Say for instance your library had a genealogy section. Wouldn't it be great to do a video presentation on what is available in your particular genealogy section?
Or if you had a local history collection you could promote what resources are available to the general public on your local area's history.
The possibilities are endless really.
Here is a copy of the construction of the State Library of Queensland.

Glad to see you are getting some good ideas about how to use videos in the workplace.
