Thing #19: You Tube

I've never really dabbled in YouTube. I've seen a few videos my brother or friends have emailed me, but I've never really sat down and searched for anything. I feel like I should....I feel like I'm missing out on this cultural phenomenon. I searched for UCSC and I found some stuff on Practical Activism, the "police brutality" video, some biking videos, and the naked run. I think YouTube would be a good tool---tours of the library, how to do basic searches.....and maybe (someday) how to use our self-check machines? I remember watching the SJSU Second Life presentation on a YouTube video too. I think this tool has potential, but again it is up to us to use it and make it available to our patrons.
