Podcasts

This one has really got me thinking about its use in a local Library. Yes, we could give a virtual tour but would anyone look at it. We could video our Law Week talks and podcast them, or just an audio of it. Over the years I suppose we could build up a good resource - but then information may become out of date and the Solicitors may not agree. I found the author talk podcasts interesting They would be a useful tool to choose the author you wished to talk as well - some authors are really good speakers and others not as good.

Overall very interesting and useful in a large Library or a Library with a large budget but of much more limited use in a small Library. Other Libraries podcasts could be a useful tool and those on, for example, the ABC site could be of interest to patrons.

I agree, author talks and events such as law week would be wonderful to have as podcasts from a library web page - we just have to convince them to give us access!
