Podcasting all over the place!
NPR : ‘PodCasting’ to Music, Talk Fans Online
NPR has mentioned podcasting two days in a row so I guess it’s hit the mainstream. What should libraries be doing about it? Will there soon be ipod collections accessible via library catalogs?! Already some academics are getting into it. Alan Filreis, a professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, has created PennSound, a project to create an audio archive. He uses the audio files for his classes so that the students can listen to poetry on their ipods in the authors’ voices.
Listen to the NPR show and hear for yourself about this latest cultural phenomena.
