Podcasting for Public Libraries

PLA Webinar:
Podcasting for Public Libraries

November 18; 2:00 PM EST

Walk down the street and you’ll see earbuds dangling from many people like some high-tech jewelry. They’re not making a fashion statement. While many may be listening to their favorite music, a great deal more may be learning a new language, catching up on the latest technology, discovering financial advice, or being entertained by a comedy or drama.

Podcasting is an online audio-based program akin to broadcast radio that delivers content to listeners. People are talking, and more to the point, tens of thousands are listening, too. Public libraries can – and many already do – use the podcast platform as an efficient and easy method to share news and information, promote programs and services, and distribute other important content to their patrons. This webinar provides the details that will help you produce, record, and deliver your own podcasts.

At the conclusion of this one-hour webinar, participants will:

  • Know how to plan a podcast and develop its format, find content, write the script, and get ready to record;
  • Learn what equipment, software, and other tools are necessary to produce high-quality podcasts; and
  • Be able to deliver and promote finished podcasts to patrons.

This webinar is intended for public services staff, marketing and communications staff, computer and technology staff, and digital media lab staff.
