For this tech challenge, I listened to one of the Podcast Alley top ten podcasts. Interesting, but...I won't be listening again. However, I have subscribed to a podcast in the past. I used to subscribe to a foreign language podcast...helping me brush up on my foreign language skills. I found it very useful for a while (until I no longer had the time). It was so easy to have exactly what I wanted sent to me. I believe that on demand is the way of the future.
I believe that podcasting could be used for a variety of library services. Some ideas I read about in Deborah Lee's article for Library Administration and Management were to use podcasts for library tours. I've heard of some libraries lending mp3 players. I believe teens are ideal targets for podcasting. Leting some of their programming be featured via podcast is great. Lee mentions the Lansing Public Library's "Teen Poetry Cafe" available as a podcast. I think this is a terrific idea.
