Week 9 Podcasts and Audio

I think podcasts could work in our library. I like the idea of using it to introduce new or existing clients to the layout of the library, to the library collection and to the support services. It would be great for recording authors talks, HSC seminars, debates and discussions on particular topics. Marketing, promotions and displays - it's like having an audio noticeboard for upcoming events.!

Another tool to be used for Induction of new staff. In house training, workshops and meetings (how much easier would it be for staff who are absent to get up to speed)

A few things to consider.The amount of investment in time and staff that would go into recording the podcasts. Do we have all the equipment needed to record? Where can the recording be done? How would we promote the casts?
