Podcasts

Pod casts are recording of information that can be used for either for 'academic' use(a recorded lecture or meeting) or entrainment (a song recording). 

In the case of the this post I will be looking at the 'academic' pod cast, however I have found that there were a lot of pod casts that cover a  different subjects from the serious such as current international news to subject that could be classed as entertainment, Raw Comedy pod casts of stand up comedians from the  http://www.abc.net.au/radio/ is a good example of an information pod cast entertainment.

 I found that there where a a lot useful library pod casts on the web, a great majority of them where formal. I found this podcast group LibPunk., two young American library researches that voice their oppions on library bills, pop culture in library and their thoughts on libraries in general. This is a really good example to adalesant clients that libarries don't have to be about books and 'boring things', it can inform the client what is happening in the (American) library system in a  way they find interesting. WARNING there is a lot of swearing and other things that are talked about that aren't library related.
