I think YouTube is a very good site. It’s great that it makes video available to people everywhere. I do agree with Helene Blowers though, that you will find good and not so good content posted here. A benefit of libraries using social video sites is that they can be used to make online tutorials or presentations available to staff and students regardless of where they are. It a convenient way to get messages across to those who don’t come in to the library often, who might have missed an important session, or to complement the face-to-face interaction with library staff. It is useful too, that anyone who uploads content to the site has to create a profile, so anyone else who likes what they have posted can subscribe to be alerted when new content from them becomes available.
The video I am choosing to share with you all from You Tube, is set in a library, where Japanese participants play a game of chance to see who the “lucky” one is who has to undertake each of the quite bizarre (funny) challenges. All the while, people are working, reading, studying around them, and the “actors” have to try and be quiet. Who knows if it is a set-up? I would think it would have to be, because no-one around them gets frustrated by their antics (although this may be part of the Japanese nature). But it is funny. Enjoy!
