Podcasts
Learning about podcasts is fun. I put into my blogline account Wait Wait Don't Tell Me... from National Public Radio. Naturally I was challenged, but I watched A Beginner's Guide to Podcasting by Greg Schwartz and that helped out tremendously. I also found library related podcasts that are now in my bloglines. Another subscription I subscribed to is LibVibe. This podcast subscription is all news related to libraries around the country and Canada. I think that podcasts can be useful to the library for many reasons. Staff can use it to listen to a seminar on library related topics such as the use of new technology (exactly what I have used it for). Patrons can use podcast for their own learning or leisure activities.

Hi Alana,
I'm glad you found that SirsiDynix Institute presentation useful, even two years after it was given. I'm glad you mentioned LibVibe, because it reminded me that the host seems to have stopped producing it. Strange.
Anyway, I also wanted to point you in the direction of my current podcast, Uncontrolled Vocabulary. http://uncontrolledvocabulary.com
It's more of a roundtable discussion of library news, but you might find it worthwhile. Good luck in your learning!
Alana, it's interesting that you got a comment from the SirsiDynix Institute presenter! Another illustration of the connections people can make through all this web 2.0 stuff. Did you check out uncontrolled vocabulary?
