Invasion of the Body Snatchers...

The Pods...they're here!! I just watched this movie the other day so it's on my mind when I think of Podcasts! (yes I'm weird)

I went to podcast.net and found The Library Channel. I chose a podcast called Copyright in Academic Environment. Albert Capony was being interviewed and apparently is the lawyer for the ASU. He wasn't a copyright attorney but still was very interesting. They talked about the differences between copyrights and trademarks and some of the language in copyright laws. I found this very interesting. I also found the site extremely easy to use.

I then ventured off into Podcast Alley. At first I couldn't get this to work. I finally got this to work by choosing "show details" then was able to run the podcast from the site using winamp. I searched Library 2.0 and found a really cool site called "Pirate TV Theater" ...wait a minute... this has nothing what-so-ever to do with libraries. So, I tried again..I found What's New At The Lunar and Planetary Institute Library. This was cool in theory. They had info on their podcast about changes to the library. They talked about how there would no longer be ref desks manned and that if you needed something you should ring the bell for assistance. They talked about the summer interns and how they should apply early for library cards. Then they spoke about recent additions to the library collection. Such titles were mentioned like High Energy Density Labratory Astro-Physics, and Non-Linear Diffusion Equations. YIKES!! It really was a wonderful way to keep users updated. I thought it was a good idea and would work great for KCLS.

Then I moved on to Yahoo Podcasts. It looked pretty but I couldn't get it to work. I tried and tried and an error always came up so I gave up...besides Pirate TV Theater was waiting for me...so I headed back over to Podcast Alley and to the Pirate TV Classic Radio Drama. I downloaded "The Weird Circle-Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde" Just wonderful and this is the podcast I choose to add to my feeds on bloglines.

Gotta go pop some popcorn.....
