Thing #20 YouTube

Librarians Gathering: Live in Second Life
I tried out the search "Library 2.0" on YouTube, which returned 4 results, including this one which is embedded in my blog. This small hit list initially surprised me, but perhaps it is a reflection that the library profession is not using YouTube (as yet) as a means for promoting Library 2.0 ideas. It made me wonder if one day we may be including content from YouTube - or other online video sharing sites - on our library catalogues. We already incorporate digital content but potentially this can be extended to video content. Who knows, this may not be very far off in the future.
