Glyn’s Library Blog (and other thoughts)

I used Podcast.net to find a few library/book podcasts, as Yahoo!s site says they’ll be closing the site September 30. I didn’t want to link to something that wouldn’t be there in a week, so I didn’t even bother looking there. I did find a podcast for What’s New at the Lunar and Planetary Institute Library. I also found one by Powell’s bookstore in Portland, the Bookcast.  I can see the usefulness of podcasts, especially in training and book reviews.  The topic I wanted to look up (knitting) had quite a few podcasts available.  I’ve heard of a few, and even tried listening to one, but I think I’ll have to try again later, as I just couldn’t get into a knitting podcast.  Book and movie reviews, though, that’s more interesting.  Also using podcasts for keeping patrons up-to-date with library happenings, and again, possibly with basic FAQs might be helpful.
