PODCASTS

Had a play on this and found a really good site called SirsiDynix Institute, it had a podcast on 'Engaging youth on their own time' It was more geared to a Public Library but a lot of information was also appropriate to an educational library. It talked about how teenagers see a library and how we could make the library easy and friendly for them to use e.g. IM (instant messaging) how the young ones like this because it is quick to use and in real time and will actually add the library to their buddy list because they feel it is safe.
Another one is 'myspace' where once they login they can access the library's databases. Have added it to my netvibes page.
