Podcasts


urban isolation aka (i)Pod People

I love my Ipod, what a great invention. I listen to both music and podcasts from the ABC. The way that you can listen to infomative and interesting radio ad specialist podcasts from all over the world, when ever you like is very freeing. The library could make really good use of this technology, just like alot of other libraries have. Talks given by guest speakers could be recorded and published as podcasts. Staff could give short introductions to the library services but also information about exhibtions and how they relate to the libraries collections. I'm sure many staff members have interesting stories to tell about rare items and the aquistion of new unique purchases etc. Of course a podcast service would have to be promoted unless it might not be noticed on our website. But I think this technology has great potential.

I love my ipod too! It's the only gadget that I've totally and completely become besotted with. And feeding my ipod is my favourite thing to do because I know that it will continually bring me so much happiness. (Ok.. enough gushing)

That's an excellent idea to have podcasts of library talks, etc. The State Library of Victoria has digital forums and SLNSW could do this too. Check out SLV's digital forums at: http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/programs/ltf/forums/digital_forums/index.html
