Podcasting

As you will see from the list below of the podcasts I subscribe to (and this isn't all of them) I am a podcast addict and I have been for years. This is the way I get most of my audio and video news now, but I also enjoy them for the entertainment as well. It does require some regular daily maintenance, but they are well worth it.

I don't listen to many specifically library related podcasts except for talking with Talis --good interviews with industry leaders and I used to listen to library geeks, but I haven't for awhile as I don't think they podcast as often as they used to.

I think there is absolutely a role for Sno-Isle Libraries. I was surprised to see that our own podcasts were not listed as an example for staff in the course blog or just mentioned to bring about awareness that we have them. I think our storytimes are worthwhile, but I feel there is much more content that we already create that could be recorded both for public and internal purposes. Having information in audio or video format is always a good alternative.

Some of the already produced podcasts such as Writers' Almanac, Book Reviews and NPRs Books would be topics that our users would be interested in.
