June

</b>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?<o:p></o:p></p>

produced a focus on information that is unaware of its history.” –
