Podcasts

Podcasts are another great way for anyone to share their ideas and work for free online. There are many podcast directories out there including Allpodcast.com, podcast.com, and podcast directory.
Libraries have taken very well to this online tool, posting tutorials, tours, special events, and book reviews.

One such podcast that shows public library patrons how to use a genealogy database to find ancestors is "Accessing your library's genealogy resources" by ProQuest. This one is accessed via iTunes, a popular place for podcasts.

Another interesting podcast series is The Library of Babel. The series is described as "Readings of short fiction, especially the fantastical, the humorous, the sardonic, and the macabre".
