Podcast and audio

Listened to many podcasts from the British Library and the ABC. Again these are new to me. I tried subject heading in both, the British Library does not have much podcasts, but quite like the ABC, there are a lots to see and listen, especially the 1 minute health, ie Benefit of soy? a quick reference and interesting, definitely will go back to check out more other interesting things.

The podcasts linked to the Library Success Wiki is very handy, many different types of libraries to choose for podcasts. I can see is very useful for teens, actually great for anyone, such as the OCLS podcasts to the teens to encourage them to come to the library, as often they find themself boring, nothing to do. Author talks is most popular in podcast to let the patron know authors coming to the library and promote their new books, can be used for story time, library news, special event for law week and HSC seminar etc.

Also it can be use for new staff's induction day, staff meeting for those absent in the meeting.
