Thanks to my buddy Sarah Houghton for pointing me toward a great post on the clioinstitute blog that highlights the potential use of podcasting to disseminate library audio tours. The post highlights an excellent example of one academic library that is syndicating audio content and two others that should be considering it.

The big winner is the George C. Gordon Library at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. They have a feature called Library Audio to Go: Podcast with the fabulous tagline "Library Wisdom for the mp3 masses." Although the first entry is indeed an Interactive Audio Tour of the library (which will come to you automatically if you are a subscriber to my podcast feed), they have also done a number of other short segments. Nothing since October though, so I hope their interest isn't totally flagging.
