I receive the National Library’s eNews emails and today I found out about their animated web videos.  This is what they say;

Want to know what the National Library has to offer? We’ve created a fun series of animated web videos to help get you started using our collections and services. In less than 90 seconds you’ll learn how to access our reading rooms and galleries, research your family history, use online resources and order copies from the collection. Watch the full series online.

The videos are:

• Can I borrow items from the library?
• Can I get copies of items from the library?
• What can I get online?
• How do I research my family history?

Even if you already know how to do these things these are very well made animations and still worth watching.  A big surprise for me was that the captions are accurate, because so many youtube.com videos aren’t,  but you do have to read very quickly.
