I am the last member of my family to get into podcasting - the kids have been using podcasting for what seems like forever and I can see why - so easy and so much stuff out there. So great that as long as you can get to a computer, mp3 or mobile the world of podcasting is there for you.
Podcasting could be widely used in Library land for housebound patrons and for author talks and for various training sessions. Could be used for foreign language patrons who can't access as many items as they may like. The childrens section was great that I ventured into and could be tapped into through the library computers. I loved the mediation section. We could offer training at the library to introduce our patrons to the wealth of information available to them. Oh if only we didn't have to earn money - computer land has so much to offer.
The ABC and SBS sites have a great section of podcasts and have looked at the Triple J podcast page which offer to send a selection of music every week - can't get much better than that. I have only skimmed the surface - have sites bookmarked for when I have a spare moment. We went to the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney recently so that was great to look at. Learn Out Loud Podcasts would a great site to really explore - so much information there - would be great to learn a language and download for the long car drive to work. It was great to look at The State Government of Victoria site - lots of information there and will show to other staff to see if we can use any for our service
