I think the issues you're raising are very important. It seems like the best instructional videos are made with expensive equipment and by people with a lot of experience. I'm not convinced either resource is easily available to libraries. An academic library would probably have access to film departments and film students, but it doesn't seem likely that public libraries would have the same set of resources.

I completely agree about the usefulness of online databases. Obviously, going to the Louvre's website can't compare to visiting the actual museum, but that's not an option for most people. It's nice that technology is helping bring the world closer together.
There are a few museums with iPhone apps that showcase their exhibits. These are a lot of fun and very useful because of their accessibility. It would be great if archives started making apps, too - it might help with funding and outreach, and potentially even be a good aid for the researchers using the archives.
