I embeded a video of a plane crashing at the Abrolhos Islands that my Father-in law took. I thought it was a great example as he is not a very technological person and I don't think he even knows how to get onto youtube. He took the video with his new video camera, a friend saved it to a USB, another friend e-mailed it and then another person uploaded it to youtube. We heard from someone else that they had seen is on youtube. I think this demonstrates how a video can travel even without the awareness of the person who captured the footage.
We have used youtube in our Library to publish footage of our Big Sky Readers and Writers Festival author presentations, particularly chefs. We have thought about using it for storytime and rhymetime so that patrons unable to make it to these sessions could virtually join in. The issue of having all participants permission could possibly be a bit of a hicccup if we ever decide to trial this. I think it would also be a great way to extend the wonderful oral history program we run to include video.
