I’m familiar with podcasts and have used them for quite some time for various reasons, although I have never made one. I really enjoying seeing how public and university libraries use podcasts for author talks, book reviews, library tours, staff training purposes, debates etc. Again, the possibilities for these applications in public libraries are endless. I’m becoming more and more convinced that the considered use of these web 2.0 technologies by public libraries greatly enhances a user’s engagement with their local library, encourages engagement with new and wider audiences, aids in the development of partnerships and in providing authoritative and relevant resources to users.
Have you thought about making some to feature aspects of the new library ... perhaps recording some first impressions of staff/customers?
