Podcasts

EUREKA - finally, what I've been looking for these past many years. A podcast from Sirsi/Dynix. I can now go on vacation with peace of mind and a warm heart.

Moreover (I just miss using this word) - moreover, I found a couple interesting library podcasts. My favorite was linked off podcastalley, called "Secret Library Workers Union". I thought it would be labor-related but it's just a bunch of really wacky, poetic clips: Abominable Librarian; Please Leave; Typing - Eyes Closed, Mouth Open are the funniest. The clips evoke the wierdness of library life.

I noticed the King County Law Library has a podcast, but the podcast I thought was most useful for our setting was a Teen podcasting program at Hennepin County. We could do something like that. I also liked the Reference Speakers Series, but I wouldn't expect it to be too successful unless we could get some big names to present. A "speakers series" could be used as a training tool, but I think it would be better to have video along with audio for something like this.

I... don't even know what to say to that.
