Podcasts

I listened to Whitney Point High School's podcast related to a book that was featured on their sight. How was the audio quality? I felt that the audio quality was much better then i thought it would be. It was loud enough to hear and not crackly like some podcast can be. Were they interesting enough to make you want to subscribe to them? I thought it was a great idea to feature books in their podcast it did make me want to read the book but not subscribe to them. What sorts of topics did they cover? They covered books, poetry and a rap song created by one of their students. Do you think that pod casts be useful to your patrons? I think that we could benefit from podcast by making a virtual tour of our library to save us time from having to give tours to our students for their teachers. A lot of my co-workers give tours of the library for teacher who have labs and things like that. They often run out of time on other important things they have to discuss because their tour took longer then planed. If so, what types of pod casts do you think would interest them? If we did like Whitney high school did we could get some interest in putting some of the poetry that the students have written or a particular book that a lot of students were interested in for example the Twilight series. This way they can pull it off our library web site and listen to what they like most.
