Podcasts and Audio

I think my Library could benifit from the use podcasts for patrons and staff!
we could have a Podcast feed for different links on our internet site, We could use it for booktalks so that people could HEAR and WATCH instead of just reading book reviews.
You could use it for things such as local history where people could watch Speeches etc - But issues would have to be considered such as copyright.
Im not sure if IT has restrictions on Podcasts and Audio on public PCS that may be an issue aswell.
But overall I think you could use podcasts and Audio to advertise the library and to open up new ideas and new ways of communicating and sharing information with patrons.
This could benifit vision impared patrons aswell - the possibilities are endless!

Yes, I think podcasts would be a great place to start. We aleady deliver talks - so it would just be repackaging a product we already deliver - to a much greater audience.
