Introduction

Video-sharing in medicine is an extremely popular topic due to the portability of mobile devices such as iPhones and the rise of web 2.0 sites such as BlipTV, iCYou and YouTube.com. Several video-sharing sites allow embedding code into blogs and websites, and do not require special equipment. They can be viewed on most laptops, desktop computers and mobile devices (or may require buying an app).

Many health librarians find that video sites are helpful in supplementing their collections and in offering new services: 1) outreach, training and marketing; 2) direct personal and professional development via RSS feeds and 3) current awareness and learning. The rise of visual media continues as society moves into web 3.0 and physicians try to keep current with changes in evidence-based health care. Some futurists believe that we are entering into a post-textual era and that demand for video will only increase exponentially.
