YouTube is a great source for videos covering all subject areas. Remarkably, a search for "libraryish" picked-up a number of hits, some serious and some not so serious - like this film produced by Library staff at Harper College:

These guys have given me a few ideas for our next round of student inductions... or at least voiced it in a way I'd like to be able to do it, but we'd never patronise our users in such an obvious way... would we?? On a more serious note, YouTube has huge potential as a teaching and learning tool and can add interest to presentations, though all things in moderation!
