The “Welcome to the Williams College Library Mystery Tour 2006” ... This was a great promotional video which included testimonies from students who have been helped by reference librarians. The video can be viewed at http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=i-t0LHnw-fc
Having Author talks to be viewed at Google Videos as Mosman Library have done seems a great idea. We have had some fantastic authors visit like James Morrison, Di Morrissey plus loads of others. One scene which would have been great captured on video would have been when we had the Wolverines riding their Haley Davison bikes into our library to give a storytime to kids. They did a fantastic job. It was a real spectical.
A guided tour on video would be a wonderful alternate way to show and promote all the great facilities that our library has to offer even the databases we offer access to over the web. It would be best to have some young people tell their story of why they like and use the library. Using a YouTube video for this would be a wonderful way to target a younger audience to help entice them to come into the library and use remote library tools like our website.
Other video uses could include giving a sneak peak to the latest gallery exhibition which is housed just upstairs from our library. I like the idea of having oral history videos especially if you can find some great old characters who can spin a good story of historical events.
