Week 9 - Podcasts

Podcasts could be used by our library to record oral histories and share the experiences of the local community to a wider audience than those we can attract physically. Our library has also started to implement a 'Living library' project and this type of web 2.0 technology could be vital in promoting the 'books', encouraging more 'books' to register and gaining a greater audience. There are a number of housebound patrons who would probably like to participate or listen to the project but can't due to physical restrictions, this could be one way of engaging them in the library and wider community.
