Thing 21 completed. Went to Yahoo! Podcasts, searched for "libraries" and found LibVibe: The Library News Podcast. After scanning episode descriptions, listened to the Aug 13 podcast. An interesting item was the report from Wisconsin indicating that library users and non-users are not enthusiastic about libraries' instituting new technologies (e.g., IM, podcasts, MP3 check-outs). A spokesperson who worked on the survey suggested that promoting new technologies should tie in with the "public library brand," the core mission of providing patrons with information and materials that they enjoy.
Note: Yahoo! Podcasts will not be around for long. There is a banner announcement on the site indicating that the site is closing down Oct 31.
