#21 Podcasts, Smodcasts!

I spent some time looking at podcast.net and podcastalley.com. There are so many podcasts to choose from! I found the podcast directories very easy to use and have subscribed to a RSS feed which has a podcast focusing on youth literature. The only down side I have found is the time it takes to download the podcast in order to listen to it. I prefer sites that have the podcast already available and can be easily accessed with the click of a button.

There are numerous potential uses for podcasts here in the library. Something simple like a podcast about how to become a library member and what resources you can access as a library member. Promotion of events no longer need to be solely visual we could also podcast these. This could definitely be a very useful resource which is only limited by our imagination.
