Week 8 & 9

I have just completed weeks 8 & 9, I had to catch up!!!! Both of this tool could be very useful for Libraries. They could be used in-house to keep staff informed or they could be used as a tool for keep patrons up-to-date and also to involve them in the library and its activities. I feel that podcast could be particularly useful for regional libraries, as those patrons who live a long distance from their library could be more easily involved in the activities the library may be holding for example Author visits or other talks. A rural patron would be able to watch or listen to the event that they may not otherwise have access to!

Podcasts can allow people to listen when it is convenient for them, the program might be booked out, you may be unavailable, but you can listen to what the library is offering at a time which is convenient for you.
