YouTube is being used in all different kinds of ways today. An innovative way that libraries can use the YouTube concept is through online book clubs. Scharber states that a public library can use http://www.moodle.org as a safe and free way to host online book clubs.
Our library just received a donation for our teens and I am going to see if we can start an online book club or find a way to use technology in our teen book club. Scharber's observations of the Moodle program has some great ideas for using technology in book clubs both for youth and adults.
