Vodcasting

This would be a great way of getting more people to see our library, you could do a video tour, while giving them the information that they need for being able to use the library.

I watched A Pirates Guide to the UCLA Libraries. It was a cute way to show where the libraries were on campus and the hours of operation.

Podcasting

First, this assignment was the hardest that I came across so far. I tried to figure out how to listen to a program from Uncontrolled Vocabulary, no luck with that site at all. I was able to listen to episode # 44 from the LISTen site. It was regarding the censorship in Australia. I had a few problems first it's hard for me to be able to listen due to the fact I was interrupted. I also couldn't turn the volume up in order to hear without disrupting the office.
On the upside this could be a valueable way for people to listen to the news, that they are interested in at anytime. It is very similar to the radio except if you missed it you could always replay it.

Gail Borden could use this type of technology to let the public listen in on programs that we have, like Space.
