Ahh Youtube, the latest greatest time waster. I'm not much of a Youtube user. Occasionally I'll check out videos recommended by friends, clips from tv shows or music videos. The accessibility of the site is great but the video quality is usually pretty poor. One of the best things (and simultaneously the worst thing) about youtube is that you can share your own videos with anyone. The Page training video made by library pages is a great use of the site. But there is such a large volume of crap on Youtube that it can sometimes be difficult to find what you need.
I like Hulu a lot to watch tv shows. The video quality is really nice, I usually don't even mind the short commercials. But it's more of a tv thing so I don't see libraries getting a lot of use out of it, except for maybe watching videos during programs.
I think it would be cool to see CATS use youtube or embed videos at the MCPL website. I would be nice to be able to watch city council or library board meetings online. CATS also records tons of concerts and local events that I would love to be able to watch online.
And now a video on Emergency Preparedness in the workplace :
