Online Videos for Organizations

Videos are everywhere on the web. Many people upload and watch videos on YouTube. It's a way for organizations to reach out to their communities. For example, Wood Library has several easy to use Flip video camcorders and a YouTube Channel. We've been using videos to show our community what we are doing.

Is your organization using video? Would you like to? Adult Services Librarian, Barbara Henry, recommends this video series to get you started.

This 7-part introduction from See3Communications is designed to get you thinking about online video, and to get you started on the path toward using it more to accomplish your organization's goals.

Take a look at the first video in the series. For the entire seven episodes go to Online Video Guide.
