Podcasting

I listened to several library related podcasts: Nancy Keane's Simple Booktalks, Pierce County Library System Book Reviews, Sno-Isle Libraries Hear a Story, Uvula Audio Kids Podcasts, and LearnOutLoud.com Lit Summary Podcast. Podcasting is definitely a useful tool for our patrons. It provides information in yet another medium. It is great for people who may not use the physical library space on a regular basis, but still have Internet access. Potential topics include book reviews and "how to" workshops (e.g. how to plant bulbs, how to make a cake, how to compost, how to conserve fuel and energy). I have a small amount of experience with listening to and creating podcasts. I check in with the Sno-Isle Hear a Story podcast regularly and have recorded three stories in the past several months as well.
