Week 11 - Podcasts

Podcasts offer great convenience for the viewer or listener to access them at their leisure rather than at the programmed time of delivery. They also offer potential to be archived into a series for later reference. Meetings, seminars, talks, lectures etc. held in libraries may be podcast on the libraries website - enhancing the reach of the event far beyond its initial delivery. Often library communities are spead over great distances, so podcasts offer a very economical option for disseminating group information.
