Ma is making me listen to all the new things she’s learning. Podcasting is our new technology for today. She’s listened to ‘Podcasting in Plain English’ and is now planning all sorts of new training for the CLS libraries. Country libraries could promote their events, training, author talks or exhibitions and make them available as podcasts and videocasts for those who couldn't be there. Showing patrons how to use iTunes and audiobookcutter will help isolated patrons keep up to date with technology.
Going through the Podfeed.net Directory to find Podcasts was very easy and searching using Directory, then Arts, then Literature, then The Butcher Block podcasts was quick and uncomplicated.
Learn Out Loud was great for self development for everyone and the ABC National Podcasts: Just in, is a innovative way of helping our CLS libraries patrons keep up to date. Isolated patrons unable to listen at set times can download and listen in at their chosen time.
