I have just learnt about podcasts thanks to our web 2.0 guru leila fever.
I think this is a wonderful technology.
Now, anyone can listen to their fvourite things, not matter where they are in the world. It is just reiterating what a small world we live in today.
How it would benefit our library users, would be that they could download their favourite programme from our PC's .
We could also make an audio recording of any guest speakers and make it available for people who couldnt make the meeting, or anyone who would be generally interested in the subject.
It is just another tool that we can use to make information more accessible for our patrons
Podcasts and guest speakers go hand in hand, don't they? It's a natural progession to provide them for our clients who can't, for whatever reason, come into the libraries. I'd imagine many of our home library clients would really appreciate the opportunity to hear some of our guest speakers.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I was thinking: recording our guest speakers and making the recordings available online! What an excellent way to show our patrons of the diverse speakers that we invite to our library!
