It was good to see how public libraries have embraced the use of online videos such as YouTube and Google video in presentations to customers and staff. They have a role to play in my organisation, here are a few ways they might be beneficial:
As a way of promoting services and instructing customers on how to use these services. Services might include e-books, setting up email alerts, databases etc
As a way of recording library meetings and training sessions for part-time employees, casual staff and those who work at branch libraries. It’s a great way to promote knowledge sharing and to ensure that all staff are aware of new developments and changes.
As a way of promoting particular aspects of the library such as children’s services, local studies or the home library service to relevant organisations such as schools, childcare centres, historical groups, community groups, aged cared facilities etc. This would facilitate in the building of valuable partnerships ensuring that public libraries are more engaged with their communities and more knowledgeable about their needs and interests.
As a way of promoting exhibitions for those who can’t attend in person ensuring that exhibitions are promoted to a wide and diverse audience.
The possibilities are just endless…
