The Library Mystery Tour link didn't work immediately: try this url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-t0LHnw-fc
The ALA article about YouTube didn't indicate quite how goofy this movie would be!
The digital photography article peaked my interest -- the digitization of photo archive collections has been a long-standing passion of mine. The Pittsburgh project we read about is similar to Philadelphia's own www.phillyhistory.org. I would also like to suggest checking out a project using the digitization of archival photographs to promote viewer's imput at www.sealaska.org (see the Paul Photos). I think that it is important to go beyond encouraging routine questions and comments and recognize that many of the viewers may recognize people and place in those photos and may want to share further contextual information. It did not seem that Pittsburgh's model offered this as a possibility.
