YouTube and Libraries 

If you thought YouTube was just a place to watch cute kittens, people doing stupid things, and little known rock groups, check out these videos related to libraries.  There's something for everyone--serious and funny alike.   Learn about the new online culture or just laugh at "library crimes."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZblrRs3fkSU (A Librarian's manifesto with some brief nudity from Burning Man)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne_WXP7lUWM (not nearly as serious, this is a music video for a band on library crimes.  Wouldn't it be great if we had the technology to let the teens do some advertising for us to go up on YouTube?  It would be educational and fun for them and help us out a lot.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE (learn about "Web 2.0" and what that term means on this video from a professor of cultural anthropology at Kansas State University.  It really makes you think about how lives and the things we take for granted could easily change as the web change.  For example, who is the author of this wiki?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V67QuW0NeXI (we aren't the only folks thinking about 2010.  This video has a slightly humour look at what could be in 2010 if libraries don't start making sure they service a higher level of technology)
