podcasting!. your very own talk show!

The idea of podcasting seemed at first to be a rather limiting function for us in the library related fields, but I have found the exact opposite to be true! I have been able to assist a number of patrons with free podcasting software that can be found on the net, and then even participated in a number of monthly podcasts with a group of study groups. It's like having a serialized book on tape, made just for the group of friends in the exact subject you're interested in.

I think this is going to be a very useful tool in the future...as long as we remember...podcasting doesn't make you an expert...or assure that the content is correct. So do your homework and check your facts before you rely on a blog or a podcast for credit on a grade!

Welcome to Podcasting. It's easy. It also GLOBAL. Its so weird to be talking into a microphone, and then get feedback from Germany
