I am already familiar with podcasts as we often download from the ABC and listen to them when we are travelling (That's when we can get the ipod working).
I did listen to one from the British library introducing their "Taking Liberties" exhibition and it was interesting to look at the variety of podcasts on the ABC site
I hadn't thought about the library making some for educational purposes.
Our library could make a podcast about our HSC resources or do occasional reviews of books with frequent borrowers. We could also use them to publicise special events eg author visits and special holiday activities. I can see a positive use for these in libraries.
We could also make a video and audio about searching the catalogue or reserving books online.

Great to hear you are already using podcasts.

Podcasts are dead easy, quick and cheap to do. You can buy a handheld sound recorder that records direct to SD card for about GBP150, and the audio editing (such as Audacity) is downloadable free, and easy and intuitive to use.
