Our campus does use podcasting for some classes. I think this would be a useful tool in providing database instruction or tips to students. It keeps them from sitting in a classroom and makes it available in a format that works with their time schedule. I decided to subscribe to NPR Technology using Odeo and then requested an RSS feed on updates.
It is hard to focus on library usage of YouTube when we can't access it from our campus. I have used it in the past. In fact a friend sent this wonderful video about "Lost Luggage" (click on the above link). It seemed appropriate after US Airways lost three of four pieces when we traveled to Fort Lauderdale to leave on a cruise. Some of the questions we were asked by the airline baggage agent when attempting to locate my husband clothes were very similar to ones on the video. This is too funny and I know will be appreciated by all that have lost luggage. Enjoy!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZt7Pu2jc6Y
It is nice that some universities have decided to use it as a way to reach their students. East Michigan University has "Learn About the Library on YouTube" . Which can be viewed at http://youtube.com/emulibrary
