# 16 Podcasts

My standard search of libraries +technology did better on podcastalley and yes I have now cluttered up the RSS feed with another couple of sites. - Sirsidynix looks most promising.

Uses:
Personal use: allows you to do 2 things at once.
Library use - tours and how to use specific resources and as SLV is currently doing keeping any lecture program available beyond the original performance, assuming the recording quality is good.

Podcast directories:
Podcast.net: didn't do much for me a bit limited
Podcastalley.com: better choice, better results for industry searching
Yahoo Podcasts: useful for the more lightweight, social type of searching

Learning2.0 podcast
podcast by Helene Blowers (creator of this Learning 2.0 program
Learning 2.0 : Make "play" your New Year's resolution : detailed account of proceedings, obviously exported to many libraries, a search of google blogs raises the spectra of baby steps blogging and #23 things - what I learned from all quarters, however blowers presentation is quite inspiring and it obviously had effect. Only issue is there does not seem to be a sequel, the program is in repeat mode in libraries, with no new content being added, does Web 2.0 end here.

Downloadable eAudiobooks: interesting, what is often more interesting is the size of some of these files and the repeative nature of the samples on offer. But it does fit in with the whole ebook delivery and we will eventually get our ebooks page loaded on to the website and can edit some of this material into the options.
