I’m trying not to reiterate most of what I read in my aggregator, so I’m only sharing new podcasts if I didn’t read about them from any of my numerous trusted sources. Today. I stumbled across the library+technology smorgasbord, which led me to discover a podcast feed for the Muskingum College Library (link goes to their blog). So far, they are using podcasting technology to distribute their Author Talk Series.

Can your patrons subscribe to the programming you work so hard to make happen at your library? Maybe it’s high time that they could.

So the Podcasting Cybertour that I recorded for Internet Librarian was presented on Tuesday. I haven’t heard any feedback from anyone other that the program chair, Jane Dysart, so I assume that no one I know caught it. Jane says the chairs were full and it went off without a hitch, but beyond that, I have no idea if it was useful at all.

I guess I’ll let you be the judge. Here’s the PowerPoint that goes along with the mp3. Those of you subscribed to the podcast feed should expect the mp3 to download automatically, but not the PowerPoint (or vice versa, but I think I remember correctly that the last media file posted is the one that will get enclosed).

I’m devoting my energy to fighting illness right now, but let me take a moment to point out the wonderful work by Rebecca Hedreen on the twelfth installment of the Carnival of the Infosciences.

The next Carnival will be hosted over at Tinfoil + Raccoon. Send submissions to lisrochelle at gmail dot com.

If you want to see the presentation that I wish I had the wherewithal to put together, check out Jenny Levine’s Podcasting 101 (.pdf).

You’ll find another excellent installment of the Carnival of the Infosciences over at Christina’s LIS Rant.

Next week, we welcome Rebecca Hedreen to the hosting fold. You’ll find her over at Frequently Answered Questions.

Also worth noting, the folks over at Blog Carnival are maintaining a great master page that lists all of our past carnivals as well as the upcoming hosts. Better yet, there is a one-stop submission form that actually directs submissions according to the upcoming host’s posted instructions. Thank you, Blog Carnival!

I’m delighted that the Carnival has survived into double digit editions. Jane at A Wandering Eyre has put together a wonderful collection of exhibits for this week’s Carnival of the Infosciences. I am encouraged by the number of submissions made this week and expect everyone to keep it up and give the Carnival some much needed linkage.

Next up is Christina at Christina’s LIS Rant, so get your submissions in to cpikas [at] gmail [dot] com.

In addition to the sites I added to the hosting schedule last week, we can now look forward to Carnival of the Infosciences #14, which will be hosted at the Information Community News weblog.

I continue my search for new hosts, while extending an invitation to all previous hosts to take another stab at it. Here are the guidelines for both hosting and submitting posts. If you ask nicely enough, I just might waive the submission requirement for hosting.

This afternoon, I had a wonderful time talking to a group of (mostly) Canadian librarians about podcasting, as part of the Education Institute’s Tech Tuesday series (link to other upcoming programs).

I should have guessed that podcasting would be my new speaking niche, but really I’m just glad to have something about which someone wants me to talk. I’ll be doing a Cybertour on podcasting at Internet Librarian 2005 in a few weeks, but, sadly, I won’t be in Monterey this year. Parenthood trumps all. So my presentation will be pre-recorded and therefore, that’s right, available as a podcast. Coming soon to a digital media player near you…

First, my thanks to Mark Lindner for another excellent Carnival of the Infosciences.

I’m also pleased to report that I’ve managed to fill the hosting schedule for at least another month. Thanks to everyone who stepped up to the plate. Here’s a list of the upcoming Carnival hosts.

Who’s up for November?!?!?
