Week 9: Podcasts and Audio

I think podcasting is great because it is a convenient way of automatically downloading audio files to a computer and receive automatic updates once subscribing to a feed of a producer's audio content.

So far I am not clear how easy to do a podcast, I think libraries can use podcasts for staff meetings, training programs, professional development seminars and lectures to allow access by remote staff and staff not able to attend them.

Libraries can podcast library tours, storytime, author talks, library events and activities to make them more widely available to the public.

I think podcasting is a good way for house-bounded library users to access libray resources if a library produces audio (and video) contents and podcasting( and vodcasting) them.
