This will probably sound silly, but I am finally getting used to the term "podcast." I get where the term came from, but my mind tends to associate "pod" with the original version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"! Now that I am no longer creeped out about the word "pod", I think I can finally embrace the technology!
Libraries can have a lot of fun with podcasting, especially in the children's department (my domain). We are having a podcasting camp this summer where elementary-age kids can create their own podcasts. What fun for a child to talk about a favorite book or do reader's theater. I also think it would be fun to have storytelling available on our website or do "A Story a Day". We could also podcast "What's New?" and talk about new books and programming. Podcasts are another way to promote all the great things going on at the library.
Just please keep those aliens away...
