Number 21


Podcasts and podcasting - I've been listening to podcasts almost since their inception and I've been producing podcasts for about three years.
To me, podcasts are another way to enhance the web experience. There are podcasts and video podcasts of just about anything you could want. All of the major news networks offer podcasts of their leading stories. Washington Post radio offers archived podcasts of the Tony Kornheiser Show.
HCLibrary has podcasts and video podcasts as well. The 2006 A+ Celebration uses a highlight podcast that is about 9 minutes in length and then 12 separate podcasts for each individual speaker.
In February, we posted a 23 second time-lapse video of the transformation of the East Columbia Branch into a jazz night club for 2007 Evening in the Stacks.
Podcasts have become an essential component of multi-taskers. You should always have a podcast on while you are surfing, watching TV and talking on the phone.
