I’m intrigued by this: http://www.lisnews.com/article.pl?sid=05/04/08/0759222 Two more viewpoints on podcasting… I agree with points in both. Take a look.
http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/154/report_display.asp Once again, Pew jumps right into the Hot Tech fray. Download the report, read it and ponder how you might server your users with audio content. Wouldn’t you like your library to be included on the iPods and other players in your town? The Wikipedia entry on podcasting distinguishes this medium from traditional internet radio because it allows consumers increased flexibility in listening to audio content and because delivery of podcasts can be automated. Before podcasting, internet radio listeners had to tune in to scheduled programs or retroactively search for individual broadcasts to download. Podcasts offer the unique feature […]
Implications of Podcasting in Library Land In the first two days of CIL, I heard the term “podcasting” in a few sessions, including the “Dead Tech” session. I guess, then, that “podcasting” is sooooo hot right now. With that, I thinkl we need to put some thought into what might happen as libraries jump on the syndicated audio (and video bandwagon). I’m all for adding media to a library’s presence, but I also see the need to plan and ponder how the creation of audio content might impact our work: Have a visiting author? Will guest speakers sign off on […]
Here’s an e-mail comment I received from David Free a Reference Librarian at Georgia Perimeter College – Decatur Campus in Decatur, GA. He said I could reproduce it here because I think it’s an excellent example of how libraries might syndicate useful audio content that markets services, etc. Thansk David! Greetings. Well, I’ve been experimenting with podcasting for the last month or so. I’ve done 3 so far, mostly pretty basic versions of the library news I post on our campus library blog: events, services, new books. I’m doing these about every 2 weeks or so. They’re each about 12 […]
I was interviewed last night by Greg Schwartz concerning the upcoming Computers in Libraries conference. Have a listen: http://openstacks.net/os/archives/000777.html My part was “Made on a Mac!” 🙂
I’ve been looking for podcast bits out in the blogosphere as i shape these thoughts. I came across these in my travels: At Blisspix: http://blisspix.net/index.php?p=29 “As I?ve commented to a couple of people and lists now, broadcasting/podcasting is fun, but it can be lonely and time-consuming to produce content. I found it quicker to produce live-to air in the studio, because I wasn?t going back and fixing mistakes, and all the equipment was set up (so I could play grabs, a record, a CD, a minidisc and conduct a phone interview all at the same time if I really wanted). […]
Let’s try again. I did some tweaks on my setup. Tame the Web Podcast 2: Communicating your Library’s Message Contents: Call for Speakers for Public Library Track at IL 2005 Call for Speakers at Internet Librarian International Communicating your Message – 8 Channels (PDF) (Originally developed with Lissa Krull 2003) Please comment… or e-mail…
I am sitting here this rainy cold Sunday in Northern Indiana trying to record the TTW Podcast #2. Here’s my take on an unintended consequence: recording a podcast is also great prep for a presentation…. I have notes, some pages to refer to and my thoughts but it really helps to settle in and start talking — to present the topic and see how it plays out as you record. It helps put ideas in place. You get to hear yourself immediately as well– eeek! Too many UMs and “wells” or weird sentences and I want to edit or rerecord. […]
I’ve been thinking about podcasts… dabbling a bit this week. One thing that is pretty darn cool is that some of this phenomenon/trend has roots in good old Open Source Software. What is a podcast? Folks have been offering definitions. For example, PodcastAlley defines it, Webopedia does as well, and wikipedia has a great entry here:“A podcast is much like an audio magazine subscription: a subscriber receives regular audio programs delivered via the internet, and she or he can listen to them at her or his leisure.” For example, downloading Audacity is a good first step. Audacity is free, open […]
