Streaming Video

During my time on You Tube, I found a video created by academic librarians, encouraging students to ask the "L-Team" for research help. This was a humorous take off on the A-Team. I also watched a video about no food in the library. One of my favorite library related You Tube videos is "March of the Librarians." I had never visited Hulu or Fancast before. I think I would use both. They're great tools to catch up on missed TV shows or to watch a movie without making a $4 trip to Blockbuster. Fancast might be useful to libraries because the factual information could be referenced at the Information Desk.

Hi,
just a note to thank you for your mention of Fancast. We hope it is a useful and fun resource for your readers and please let us know any thoughts on how we can improve it. We think our content is unparalleled, and has offerings from an astounding list of content providers, including CBS, NBC, Fox, etc. Our list of TV shows alone is pretty amazing, everything from classics like "Mary Tyler Moore" and Dick Van Dyke" to current hits like "30 Rock" and Family Guy." You can see it at http://www.fancast.com/full_episodes
There's also some great movies playing (eg. "Fever Pitch" with Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon), and, again, totally free. Please don't hesitate to let us know of any ways we can improve the site.
Cheers,
Jim (for Fancast)
