Thanks to Connie Crosby for highlighting a new library-related phone-in show that’s piloting today. It’s called Legal Bib and Library Law Talk, hosted by Brian Striman and Rich Leiter. You can find out more info via Connie’s post on the Slaw blog. Unfortunately, 3 PM Central on a Friday is a terrible time for me, so I won’t be able to tune in live. I’ll be looking forward to the recording, mostly to see how the live call-in format works for them.

They’ve chosen to use BlogTalkRadio as the platform for their show. I considered BlogTalkRadio for Uncontrolled Vocabulary, but it had one limitation that I found off-putting for my purposes: Only five people are allowed on the call at once, including the host. Deal breaker.

The hosts are not committing to anything beyond this pilot at present, so I hope some folks will participate and encourage them to keep going with it. It’s encouraging to see library people experimenting with these tools that are designed with active participation from the intended audience in mind. Very encouraging.
