Thing 18 - YouTube and other online video

Rather than take up the memory and time to upload, the following link is a short choice from YouTube. It also appears on Google Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwihz7iZlx0

Pros/cons. Video about how to access a "book" intriguing. Could be happening in the distant past or distant future. As someone with motion sickness, most videos are too jumpy to watch. Annoying to sit and wait for the next few seconds of video to load.

If libraries choose to do video - as Winona State did - to show what's available in very quick format, to show quick database possibilities, to show kid programs, etc, could be linked from homepage for quick viewing.
