A big thanks to my friend and co-worker Cynthia for sending me a link to the August 11th entry in the Information Wants to Be Free blog. http://meredith.wolfwater.com/wordpress/index.php/2007/08/11/be-the-first-lab/
There are a lot of links for podcasting resources for all kinds of librarians here. One that I've added to the links on my blog is the David Free Library Podcasting Resources wiki: http://davidfree.pbwiki.com/Library%20Podcasting%20Resources
Yesterday I was listening to a podcast linked from the page, Learning to Speak: Creating a Library Podcast with a Unique Voice by Chris Kertz. I was hoping it would talk about actual speaking and breathing techniques but instead it talked about the idea of podcasting a radio show from the library. Dowling College started a podcast called Omnibus that Kertz hoped to make as much like NPR's This American Life as possible. It's an interesting PR angle for the library that I had not considered before. They consider it a "conversation" between the library and its community and include interviews from students and others that somehow intersect with the library while not neccesarily being part of the library. I can see how that would be a really fun and interesting project but right now, with our limited staff and time, I think our library needs to focus on podcasts as an educational tool.
