Today I looked at podcasts - although I have had minimal exposure to podcasting previously in the Joneses exercises - test drive #3 expanded upon it further by including creating your own posdcasts.
I work in a public library and organise a monthly event called the 'Coffee Corner' where a guest speaker visits and offers an information session to members of the local community. These sessions cover a wide range of issues and topics from health to gardening and storm chasing to cultural information with everything in between. I often hear feedback from disappointed people who are unable to attend the event on the day which has made me think more than once of how useful it would be to record the event and offer it as a podcast on the libraries' website for people to listen to at their leisure. This is something to be seriously considered and followed up...
I listened to a few of the SLQ 'Walking West End' files and think that our Local History collection could follow suit and also make use of podcasting but I know that the Local History Librarian has plans to tackle this in the future!
