Leveling the Playing Field

Live, from LPL! Our Podcast!

“LPL's first official podcast! I've created a separate podcast feed for this blog.

Science Project Strategies

I used Audacity and recorded directly to the laptop.” [’Brary Web Diva]

Lansing PL is one of my member libraries, so I can testify to the fact that they are not a large library, not are they a particularly rich library. And yet, they’re taking advantage of free, social tools like blogs, RSS, instant messaging, and now podcasting and beating out larger libraries that have more resources. They’ve even put together a podcast info page that helps explain the whole thing to patrons. Go LPL!

I’ll also note that Kelli recorded the audio from the 2005 SirsiDynix CODI Conference, which is just too damn cool. Even better, SirsiDynix was smart enough to let her podcast the recordings, which you can start grabbing here (depending on when you click that link, you might need to scroll down to November 20 and earlier). That totally rocks, and as Kelli noted to me in an email, “how’s that for ILS transparency?!”
