vodcasts and libraries
I looked up both videos and podcasts and thought long and hard about how they apply to a library setting. Videos would be best for libraries I think. It would give libraries the chance to present new information to their patrons about their library. I can only see podcasts being used in libraries for events that are ongoing such as story times. Both serve as an interesting way to keep patrons instantly engaged with what is going on at their library. Seeing differnet information posted on a wiki, being informed through some type of instant messaging system, even seeing a photo album of past events on flickr, can't compare to seeing things live. Using videos and podcasts serve as a way to interest patrons on the spot making them more likely to seek out information about a library
