Thing 25 - Libraries & Podcasting

I explored a couple of different podcasting sites from the discovery resources section and I found some of them to be pretty interesting. It looks like podcasting is a great way to keep its community informed about events and activities that are going on.

I liked the idea of using podcasting for storytimes for kids. They can just listen to the story as it is being told to them. What a great idea for kids and parents. I also like the idea of using podcasting to inform our customers of upcoming events/programs and even giving them up-to-date information on buildings as they are being renovated. It can give them an idea as to how their neighborhood library building is coming along with its improvements. Podcasting is also a great way to introduce new services coming to our library system. We are all about changing to meet the needs of our customers through our service and our service points.
