Here's our first video in our YouTube tour.
And video #2.
Ooh look, another! Who knew there were so many videos out there about the Toronto Public Library?
And I couldn't have this post without some beer related content. Here's an interesting look at Toronto's Mill Street Brewery, which includes some interesting facts about the Distillery District.
Well, that showed how easy it is to compile a bunch of YouTube videos, but how can we use this to expand customer service? Obviously the hard part is creating the content - YouTube merely makes it extremely easy to offer up video content without using TPL IT resources. For that reason, there is really nothing it can't do. Whatever video idea you have is possible (okay, maybe not 3D, but you get my hyperbole). Create promo videos before events and then record them to show off what a glorious success they were. Make how-to videos that aide patrons in navigating our new website. And then there is the class booktalk, which TPL already did for this years Keep Toronto Reading Campaign (personally, I loved that TPL patrons could send in their own videos. I already know what my colleagues think!). What about having Ready for Reading sessions available online? That way parents, caregivers and children could have access to them at any time. The possibilities are endless.
