Week 11: Podcasts and audio



I am very positive about podcasts application in the library service area. Our library organises so many truly interesting events, talks, reading sessions, exhibitions worthwhile of broadcasting and recording. Podcasts technology would not only make these available to the remote clients, but also could be applied as an archiving tool. We could also use audio podcasts to advertise all the coming programs and activities, inform about acquisition of unique materials. And what a potential does this technology have in the reader education area! Not only we could clearly explain what we are all about, describe the collections and services, but also could record subject specific talks, such as family history methodology, business research, HSC subject guides, etc.
