YouTube
YouTube is home to a large collection of videos on genealogy. Kenneth Marks' "Ancestor Hunt"
channel is a good one. We found among other things a video on using Google's news archive to search newspapers.
You can use your webcam, smart phone or video camera to create your own videos on YouTube.
For more professional looking videos, the library has Creation Stations at both the Spring Hill and West Hernando branches.
