From the screen to your earphones - not another New Found Glory

Greetings all,

Another day, another chapter of this done! Busy, cold and rainy. You'd think a Fishmouse would be ok with the wet but this one has become accoustemed to the warmer days we've been having. Oh well.

Running the wheel - Podcasts
I went to the BBC and listened to Neil Gaiman talks about the Ramayana (MP3, 45min, 18.3MB) Listen now. What do you know, it worked! It's always interesting listening to a favourite author talk and I wasn't dissapointed. On the ABC, I listened to an early JJJ Unearthed podcast, taking care to pick one with bands I hadn't heard of.
I can see potential, especially if your library has a well established and used website. You could have podcasts for featured books, book clubs, children and youth programs and local community events just to name a few. It would depend on how much room you have with your server and IT restrictions but yeah, this is a concept wich sprinkled lightly could indeed spice up an otherwise average library site. As a tool for education and training... once again, could be very useful so long as it's used right.

Swimming around - Online Education Database
I'm off to have a bit of a nose around and listen to something interesting - I'll keep you posted as to what later. Besides that, I'm looking forward to getting home and curling up and finishing the scarf that I'm knitting.

See you all soon,
