Podcast, Vodcast and Audio

Well I guess for libraries (specifically public ones) the most interesting suggestions for podcasts that I have heard about were from City Library in Melbourne who were considering using podcasts for there new members. The podcasts would be a library staff member taking them on a tour around the library. The new member would have access to an iPod, take the tour, then return the iPod when done. The reason for suggestion podcasts were because staff were finding that they do not have enough time to take new patrons on tours, and by not doing this they were disadvantaged and did often not know where to find stuff.
Interesting concept, but a lot of money!
