ALCTS Webinar: Podcasts: What Are They And Can Librarians Play?
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Sessions begin at 11 am Pacific | 12 Mountain | 1 pm Central | 2 pm Eastern
and last about an hour.
Podcasts are free radio shows—like those on National Public Radio (NPR).
One can listen to podcasts at any time in any place. Imagine hitting "play"
and listening to NPR shows while commuting, waiting on line, or doing
chores. But podcasts are not limited to shows on NPR—they include shows and
stories not found on TV, online, in print, or on the radio.
The main themes of this webinar are that podcasts have unique and useful
scholarly and leisurely material that is easy to access and that librarians
can be on the front lines of organizing and marketing them. Librarians will
take away marketing and organizing ideas they can implement immediately, as
well as ideas about marketing and organizing this relatively unknown medium
in the future.
This webinar will appeal to any type of librarian because podcasts are
available in most topics. There are shows about leisurely topics such as
sports, storytelling, news, gardening, comedy, and yoga. There are shows
about scholarly topics such as law, medicine, psychology, economics, and
learning foreign languages. Podcast shows have celebrity guests, such as
Hillary Clinton, Tom Hanks, Louis CK, and Jon Hamm. Shows are also produced
by known scholarly entities, such as New England Journal of Medicine
and Bloomberg
Law.
Learning Outcomes
Webinar attendees will learn:
-
about podcasts' role in scholarly and leisurely communication
-
how to listen to podcasts on desktop and mobile devices
-
how to market podcasts to the public. Librarians will take away ideas
they can implement immediately.
-
how librarians can use their skills to organize podcast shows by using
existing classification systems. Students will receive a spreadsheet of
suggested podcast shows organized using the Library of Congress
Classification System. Podcasts have a "discoverability problem," meaning
there is no Google for podcasts. Librarians can help people discover
content.
-
how librarians can start a discussion about future goals for organizing
and marketing podcasts, such as creating a website that reviews podcast
shows and a large database organizing podcast episodes
Who Should Attend?
Librarians interested in organizing and marketing podcasts should attend
the class. There is room for everyone—from one who has never heard a
podcast to a podcast enthusiast.
