Railways I saw in 2007 ("Trains" series): Sydney

I have listened to birds of Madagascar, Australian railways, legislative podcasts from Wisconsin, events and stories from OCLS.

It would be great to podcast all the talks held at work - this would allow everyone in the state to have access to these events. Podcasts (including video podcasts) would compliment the online exhibitions - curators could talks about particular items. This would help make the collection more accessible. Video podcasts could be used to provided snippets of information about how to search online databases - or why you would want to search them in the first place. We could (copyright permitting) make extracts of some of the oral histories collected available online. The podcasts could be en exhibition themselves. There is also potential for training and professional development.
