Libraries

- Cabell Library at Virginia Commonwealth University, http://blog.vcu.edu/cabellpodcasts/

- DiMenna-Nyselius Library at Fairfield University, http://www.fairfield.edu/lib_podcasts.html
- This library offers a series of podcast 'interviews' with various databases that undergraduate students might use, such as Academic OneFile, JSTOR, and PubMed. The interviews are each 2-3 minutes long, and try to be amusing with music, bad accents, and corny jokes. They're actually well done, but I'm not sure how many students would ever bother giving them a listen. --Lerner 22:43, 2 December 2007 (EST)
- Dowling College Library, http://www.dowling.edu/library/newsblog/podcasts.asp
- Dowling College Library uses podcasts to keep its patrons informed of all the latest happenings both in and around the library. Each Podcast also provides a most informative table of contents, detailing what each podcast covers and at what time in the podcast topics change: allowing patrons to skip ahead to parts of the podcast they are interested in hearing. This is a great podcasting program right here. --Orzech 12:52, 29 July 2007 (EDT)
