You Tube

The video podcast that I watched on You Tube was the Anna Introduction Tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svg_fflx1Uw from The University of Southern Mississippi. It is a tutorial of how to use the Anna catalog from USM's library and introduces the patron to the library. I thought this was a great idea especially for users who are more hands on and comfortable with computers. They get a basic overview of the library and the catalog.

The only drawbacks are that patrons who are not as tech savvy may be uncomfortable and questions cannot be asked by the patron during the session. One on one instruction can never truly be replaced.
