I also know that the site can be a two-edged sword, as the videos it provides eat away at bandwidth very fast. Also, there are so many videos that are not suitable for a public enviornment, that allowing full access to it in the library would be tricky.
Overall, I believe it is important for libraries to find uses for this service.
