Troy Swanson, Teaching & Learning Librarian at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, Illinois writes to TTW: We have a new podcast in our library: http://www2.morainevalley.edu/default.asp?SiteId=10&PageId=1809 I decided to write up a blog post about the steps involved: http://www2.sls.lib.il.us/MVCC/blogdevelopment/archives/001650.html I thought that others may find this of interest.

The great thing is that it’s not about a librarian being a stereotype or even a love interest…it’s all about a librarian serving an information need. They are launching a “reference stumper” type contest to win a copy of the new CD, and are issuing a call […]
