Hulu and Fancast are great!!! The only problem I have is that the videos are not captioned. I've watched shows through NBC and they have made select shows captioned. I am suprised by the options of videos available through Hulu and Fancast. This might serve as an option for patrons looking for a certain movie title. If they don't want to be put on a waiting list or the waiting list is too long, it is worth exploring to see if the movie is available through Hulu and Fancast.
I wasn't able to explore YouTube as I hoped because the video clips kept freezing up on me. I don't know if it has to do with the YouTube site or my computer. I've watched a couple of YouTube videos and have found it easy to use. However, lots of these videos are for the sake of fun and I don't know if it would be useful to patrons. One of the workshop faciliators at the OLA/WLA mentioned that she got some song ideas for storytimes from YouTube. I guess YouTube could serve a purpose in helping librarians with ideas for storytime.
