This promotional library video was produced by St. Johns County (Fla.) Public Library for National Library Week. I like it because it makes the concept of “database” easily understandable to library patrons in an entertaining format – especially the whirlwind summary of the databases that this library has to offer.

At four minutes, it might be a bit long to hold the attention of casual Internet-surfers (anything over two minutes and you lose them), but perfect for a captive audience at a library program or school visit.   It is a fun concept – maybe someone in Michigan could produce a shorter version for a lightning tour of MeL databases? Any takers?
