Catching up...

This past weekend I did the last 2 weeks of lessons. As you can see, I added a print version of a podcast onto my blog and 2 podcasts to my Google Reader. At first look, I liked the cleaner look of Podscope but I found that Podcast Alley has a much better search engine...at least for the words I put in. I was pleasantly surprised to find a podcast by one of my favorite curriculum authors. In terms I can see a number of library uses for podcasting: either open/live or post podcasts of various speakers or events that we do, a book talk or book review would be nice, or perhaps doing some classes like our AIT classes.
I am curious if there is a way to link a regular podcast to my blog rather than linking a written form of the podcast.
Jumping back to the previous lesson...
After I wrote on this blog, I went back into the Nashville Library site and did their survey. It seems that they are grappling with some of the same issues in terms of money , time, personnel, etc. that we are. If anyone is interested, please check out their survey. The survey was very simple but I do admit that there were questions that I wanted the "best of both worlds" rather picking an either/or answer. I am hoping that they publish the results of this survey in the coming month or so.
