Podcasts

I found a podcast from LibVibe that talked about current library news. It talked about the reopening of libraries in Oregon after having to close for seven months due to a funding crisis. It was scary because that library system has 15 branches. A librarian was interviewed four hours after opening her branch and she talked about the number of teens anxious to use the internet. The podcast also talked about how California libraries are dealing with the fires in their areas. I had trouble listening to the entire podcast because my computer would stop broadcasting every few minutes. I think that podcasting gives a perspective of various topics that you might not find anywhere else. Hearing someone talk about something has a bigger impact than if you just read a transcript of what was said.
