#16: Podcasts

Homework.
Okay.... For academic libraries the podcast could provide easy access to recorded lectures etc. For other libraries podcasts could be useful for user tutorials regarding things like OPAC use, internet searching and maybe even some database tips (though we would probably need to provide the earphones.... cue hygenie police... as people seem to spend a lot of time complaining about peoples IPODs on the trains so you've got to wonder how some of the more traditional users would respond to podcasts and videos on the PC beside them). I suppose libraries could also select and provide links to certain pod casts as part of their electronic collections.
End homework.
