C3 Podcasts of interest

LISTen: The LISNews.org Podcast, http://www.lisnews.org/node/30318
This website has current conversations and news in library land. I discovered this podcast beginning with a youtube search for library podcasts. There I found one blog site which looked promising, but provided too few podcasts, none in my area of interest. One of the postings led me to this LISNews.org, where I discovered news covering the library field in a much broader light.

Library Podcasting Resources http://davidfree.pbwiki.com/Library+Podcasting+Resources
This wiki provides articles, links, podcasts, training materials (and more) aimed at helping libraries set up and successfully use podcasts to reach out to patrons. I found this site through a google search for library podcasts. I've linked it here to stimulate thought toward presenting bibliographic instruction online for distance learning students, and off site patrons. With so much of our collection now online only, it would be prudent to also provide research tutorials online, as we do in person for students in the library.
