Podcasts

Podcasting would be such a useful tool for us at the library. When we have events it is not always possible for everyone to come so podcasting could be the tool we could use to reach more people. We can use it for author talks, student lectures, storytime, concerts, fun days and much more. I'm looking forward to implementing such a tool within the library.

It's interesting how many different topics people use to broadcast via a podcast. Also the many resources listed on the library success wiki will become very useful in the future. The only downside I can see at this point is the time it takes to download some of the podcasts and it would depend on the speed of your connection on how long it takes. This means that people with slow connections could get frustrated and maybe even give up on using it.
