Item # 21 - Podcasts

Podcasts may be great, useful and educational, but I had a very quick look on podcast.net and did not find any of interest for me, personally. I searched for 'Rumi' poetry under the Art, Poetry - no luck. Went into the ' Mind, Body 'under the Alternative medicine and found some strange pieces of speech. Maybe I have to come back and listen again.

Definitely, podcasts have a great potential for use in the libraries. We all have very practical experience with them during our Learning 2.0 studies. I can foresee the podcasts instructions on how to use the print station, how to check the catalogue, how to reserve an item . There are many different uses for them for promoting new programs. We have a number of customers, who are visually impaired. They 'll welcome audio instructions for many different aspects of the service.
