Learning 2.0 Week 9 - Podcasts and Audio

What a great way to distribute and catch-up on audio information - especially if you didn't have the opportunity to listen to a specific broadcast first-hand. It enables many forms of communication - from radio broadcasts, lectures, talks and discussions - readily available to anyone with a MP3 player, ipod or computer.
Public libraries can utilise podcasts and audio casts within their scope of providing information freely to the public. This can cover many areas, ranging from author talks, lectures and story time activities. These can be recorded and placed onto the library's website for the public to download. Again, it's another way to provide and access information.
