Podcasts

One of the few project play lessons that I already knew about. I'm a podcast fan- it's so easy with itunes. I particularly like the NPR music podcasts that magically appear in itunes for me. I'm happy to learn about a few library related podcast as well. Perhaps I'll download a few on my ipod before leaving for vacation tomorrow... Then again, taking a vacation means no thinking about work, right?
Silly question: Is there a way for libraries to track their podcast use just as they track use of books, etc? How do we know if people are taking advantage of this technology? These "circulation" stats would not only be interesting but also useful.

Hi Mary,

Isn't it great to already know something about this topic? I'm glad that you already use podcasts. I've just discovered the NPR podcasts for some of my favorite shows. I like being able to listen them at my leisure instead of when they're on the radio.

And, it's not a silly question - but I don't have the answer. I'll forward your question to the other PP Coordinators and see if they have an answer.

Keep up the great work and keep on playing!
