PODCASTS & VODCASTS

Podcasts - being digital audio files made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player - enable Libraries to have a different distribution method for their information.

- enable customers to listen to your material when, where and how they want. These programs could include : lectures; tours; book reviews; promotion of upcoming events; story-telling; resource guides; author and guest speakers talks.

- a great way to attract youth to the Library.

Listened to the BBC radio podcasts of the "Last Goon Show 1972", and the "Ying Tong" song by the Goons, taken from "Frogchicken".

Listened to ABC sessions of Andrew Dentons' "Enough Rope" that I had previously missed.

Billerica Public Library (US) is an example of 0ne library with a snappy video advertisement doing this.
