You Tube is very popular here at the library. Many patrons spend time every day on the free internet terminals watching YouTube videos (Facebooking is popular also). I enjoy YouTube also, it is a huge collection of videos, with a massive variety, educational, informative, hilarious - you name it.
YouTube could be used here at the library to provide educational videos/slideshows, for instance on how the self check unit works. It could also possibly be used to post video of library events (with patron consent of course) such as the annual senior's trip. I found a great library video, which I think many public library staff will relate to.
I also had to put in a video simply because I really like it. This is what Wikipedia said about the Budweiser Clydesdales Superbowl ads.
Television advertising featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales had been a longstanding Super Bowl tradition. However, in 2010, the new parent company, Anheuser-Busch InBev, announced that there would not be a Clydesdales ad aired during the 2010 Super Bowl. However, the company reversed its position after asking fans to vote on Facebook whether to include the horses in an ad, compared against two other potential spots. As a result, the company aired a Clydesdale-focused ad during the fourth quarter,[7] one of nine ads aired by the company during the game.[8]
The power of the internet!
Their ads are great if you have a soft spot for Clydesdales (which I do)!
We normally do have cookies at the library but they're not for you cookie monster! This is a great example of overinflated customer expectations : )
ReplyDeleteWhat about a soft spot for donkeys!
ReplyDeleteNice post. Super relevant.
You got me there - Clydesdales are beautiful, and noble, but I just adore donkeys, I always have. Love their long ears, their neat little feet, so cute!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't everyone love Clydesdales ... and Cookie Monster?
ReplyDeleteA great little ad. It just goes to show if you produce an entertaining little video more people will watch it.
