#21 Podcasts

I looked at the podcast directories and selected an RSS feed from the PodcastAlley.com directory - their top 10 podcasts feed. I then subscribed to it via Bloglines.

However sometimes the way you respond to the, " What did you find that was most useful here?" kind of question is to say that you learned that something might not necessarily be very useful.

For library purposes I'm a bit dubious about podcasts. Audio visual production is not really our business and (except for the occasional director's message type podcast on our website) I doubt we could do it well without taking too much in the way of time and resources from things that have a higher priority.

However, I'd love to find an outside vendor that would (at a reasonable price) produce these things for libraries and let libraries brand them as their own. Booktalk podcasts, storytime podcasts, tutorial podcasts, etc. all could be enormously useful if we could subscribe to a service that would produce them for libraries.
