Podcasting is one of today's fastest growing social computing applications.
Both amateur broadcasters and major media corporations have embraced audio
and video podcasts as a means of distributing information and entertainment.

.         What can this emerging technology do for libraries? 

.         Is it really possible to create podcasts that are relevant to
library users and will attract an audience? 

Come explore podcasting and learn how libraries are using podcasts and
videocasts for outreach and instruction. The instructor will provide a
variety of case studies as well as tips on what types of content work best
for different types of libraries. Gain hands-on experience in making
podcasts and videocasts by producing content live during the workshop!

 

Workshop Description: This is an all-day, hands-on training session. Through
individual and group exercises, you will become familiar with audio and
video podcasting and how they can be used for library instruction,
promotion, and outreach. Detailed information on what to consider when
planning for and implementing podcasting at your library will be provided
along with an up-close and personal look at a variety of creation tools.
Participants will gain practical skills in the creation of podcasts that can
