Who knew so many genealogists where into making videos? I found both good and not so good videos on genealogy on all of the video sites listed for Discover2.0. Sure, some of them are actually marketing schemes trying to lure in the little old ladies just trying to do their family histories but that's how we judge whether or not the site is creepy, right? You Are TV takes the creepy prize for the volume of marketing schemes masquerading as ligit genealogy videos, just in case you were wondering.
There are actually some really good genealogy videos out there including the series on the Allen County Library Genealogy Center, produced by the Allen County Library. These are videos that I would highly recommend viewing before heading there to do reserach. You get an intro to the collection and services as well as a chance to become familar with the layout of the library. It would save a visitor valuable time to know ahead of time what to expect and be somewhat familiar with the surroundings upon arrival and reduce the chance that some wonderful resource be missed.
I can see legitimate uses for the library beyond our current OneMinuteCritic (which is great). This would be a great tool for us to use as the new libraries open. One video an introduction to the new library and another on the building process for each new branch. Better start now!
