The podcasting directories appeared to be mainly of recreational interests. This included both the subject catagories and the tags. We found it difficult to find suitable podcasts related to library topics. There was limited information provided in the results that would help the searcher to evaluate the relevance of the podcasts. This makes searching a more time consuming task; too many podcasts would need to be opened to judge their intrinsic worth. It was found that there was more success using Google by searching by " university library podcasts". We were able to find a number of Australian university library podcasts including Curtin University, Murdoch University and RMIT University. We added the RSS feed for the Curtin University podcasts to our Bloglines account.
We checked Podcasting @ ECU site and it provides a general introduction to podcasting. There appears to be a useful discussion of how podcasting is applied at ECU. Unfortunately when it came to listen to a podcast we found that we needed iTunes installed on our computer to access the listed podcasts.
