Library Webinar on Podcasting

For the interested, OPAL (Online Programming for All Libraries) is offering a webinar (a seminar on the web).

Here's the information I got from Lori Bell.

OPAL is offering a Podcast 101 for Libraries. Podcasting is an exciting new model for distributing audio content and is generating buzz across the Internet. But what is it exactly? And why should librarians care? We'll discuss the hows and whys of podcasting including how to tune in, how to find interesting content, and how your organization can take advantage of this powerful technology to reach more people in your community. The presenter is Greg Schwartz, Circulation Supervisor at the Louisville Free Public Library and blogger and podcaster of the Open Stacks blog. The program will be offered live on Thursday, December 8 at 1:00 p.m. central time. To attend, go to the OPAL online auditorium at http://67.19.231.218/v4/login.asp?r=67955673&p=0, type your name and click enter. As you go into the room, a small software applet will download to your computer.
