One of the sponsors of the Computers in Libraries conference I went to a couple of weeks ago was PALINET, an organization serving the east coast who's mission is not all that unlike INCOLSA's mission. One of the cool things they were flaunting was a new podcast series - something I've been wanting to do here for quite some time. They have two series up now, one on general technology conversations and another on institutional repositories (which, if you don't know what that is, you should look into it!).

I'm wondering how to leverage the power of podcasting for PALNI. There's a lot of possibilities there, but it needs to be done in a way that returns the most value to our schools. Meanwhile, I'm getting my podcast fix in one of my library classes, L563 with Prof. Mary Alice Ball. You can check out our website we've build here. It's members only, but you can get a feel for what we've done. As part of our class, we are all recording podcasts in a couple of weeks. I don't know what will come of it, but it will at least be good practice.

I would be interested in training or informational type podcasts that I could listen to in 30 minute increments. Do online lunch and learns and podcast afterwards for those who couldn't attend the live session.

Here are some great links to info by Greg Schwartz, a librarian who has been working in this format for some time.
