Podcasts

Although i am not an avid Podcaster, i think podcasts are fabulous. Whenever i am struggling with something, an eidting tool in Photoshop, need instructions on crafts, or songs and dances i tend to find my answers in podcasts.

I cannot see my library publishing Podcasts on a regular basis, it doesn't seem the type of thing we could use to promote current events, or new happenings within the Library.

The way i see these being useful is to record guest speakers in the Library, this could have been beneficial for our Greening The Silver City Exhibition, Australian Cookbooks Exhibition and any Author talks or demostrations given in the library.
I also believe these could be useful for tutorial style postings. having video Podcasts on how to renew your items online, Use the online registration form, reserve an item and so on. Sometimes written instructions aren't enough and the use of a video (something the user can see and duplicate on their own PC) would be beneficial.
