#21 Podcasts, smodcasts

Like Youtube, I can see many practical applications for the library setting - use as an information services tool,introduction packages - new members, author talks and link podcast to themes /preams to library events, podcasts to highlight library innovations and other news, surveys, guides. Exploring Podcast.net I discovered podcasts for all subjects imaginable. I scanned some of the author and writer podcasts example Diana Gabaldon Podcast. A link to her website is also available. In Podcastalley there were Authors on Tour live, a free weekly podcast featuring bestselling authors reading and discussing their newest books, Much ado about books - a book talk radio show- interviews from New York Times bestselling authors and Meet the Author - a podcast where leading writers tell you what they feel about their books. Podcasts, definitely have potential as an enhancement for the library website.
