Webcast: June 2, 2009: 2PM Eastern/11AM Pacific)
*Podcasting is like an Internet radio show, or a blog with audio.  It 
uses the power of RSS syndication to automatically deliver new episodes 
to listeners.  There are millions of podcasts available, covering nearly 
any topic imaginable.  Any library can produce a podcast using free 
software and inexpensive hardware.  If you can post to a blog and talk 
into a microphone, you can create a podcast.  How can your library use 
podcasting as a tool for teaching, promotion, outreach and programming?
