It was very interesting to listen to the various podcasts that are available. I really thought the podcast at http://libvibe.blogspot.com/ (posted 03/06/08)was intersting especially the one that discussed problems of "the library has turned into a shelter for the homeless" as the homeless seek shelter in public libraries and there is nothing libraries can do as it is a public place for all.
The "library a-Go-Go" was also interseting where books are dispenced to customers via a machine.
I think podcasts can be used in libraries to communicate services, news, events and further promote services to all. It is a great service for the visual impaired.
I like the way podcasts have been used for storytelling by the Denver Public Library. Others have used it for book reviews and listening to author interviews. Just think minutes may even be replaced by podcasts for those who missed meetings. Would you prefer to have the option of listening to a meeting that happened at work rather then reading the minutes?

Welcome to ChangesChanges
Hi there,
I would like to share with you the reasons behind the choice of my Blog title. I came up with this title in 2008 because I felt that every part of my life was changing. It has not stopped there. Changes are happening on a daily basis. Change is inevitable. You must embrace it and take on new challenges to survive and stay sane. It is no use fighting it. There has been many changes in my life not only to do with my work, education, family, friends & relationships but most of all with the ever changing use of modern technology that is required to perform my job and to communicate with people. I feel that these changes have happened very quickly, some too suddenly. For instance in my current job in a public library there has been an upgrade with the Library Management System installed 12 months ago, new cosortiums/partnerships established, another restructure mainly due to outsourcing. Changes changes, changes and more changes changes changes are on the way. This is for all of us. Think about it. Cheers. From Changeschanges.
