Imaging Pittsburgh
It was nice to see a real-life application of many of the things we've been learning about. The overview of the various challenges the team faced in communication and in how they viewed the items in the collection. In the end, it was probably an advantage because the situation will be the same on the users' end - people will be searching the databases for different criteria and with different interests.
YouTube and Libraries
Sounds like a decent idea in theory - why not take advantage of a service that's so simple to use... and free. But would people actually use it for purposes such as these? I have never known anyone that used YouTube for anything other than purely recreational and largely mindless reasons.

You can pretty much find a tutorial on how to do anything on YouTube... I get screen printing and Photoshop help through watching these sorts of videos all the time. So it's not all mindless content.
You're right - I realize that not everything on YouTube is time-wasting material. I'm sure libraries can (and do) take advantage of this to link informative videos to their homepages for free. I just don't understand exactly how YouTube would be used as a publicity tool.
