Allen County Public Library:

Orange County Public Library:

In a week or so, the webcast will be online – I’ll make sure to link to it here. enjoy!

Speaker: Michelle Jeske

Why – make connections with a new audience.

Sunnyvale public library podcasts – audio and video broadcasts… cool! Nice looking site – blog-based

Charlotte and Mecklenberg example – LibraryLoft author presentation

NYPL example (they’re really been transforming lately – fun to watch)

Denver Public Library
– Stories for Kids podcasts
– teen tech week – podcasts created by teens – they let teens use library equipment
– children making stop motion animation
– Summer of Reading video – fun!
– doing screencasting, too

Boulder Public Library teen webcasts – looks like they’re using Gcast

KCPL Bluford Branch podcasts in Myspace and Internet Archive

Edmonton Public Library’s YouTube channel – lots of puppet shows

Allen County Public Library’s zombie video

Seattle Public has some tutorials on youtube!!!

DPL – created a podcasting studio in a closet, added foam and burlap, etc.

National Poetry Month – one a day from staff

Cell phone video contest – they want to do this

YouTube Channel – working on that and a Facebook page

Want to feature local artists and bands

They have some staff that have “a following” – they’re wanting to get those staff to do more audio/video so they can continue to develop that presence online

Cell Phone to Podcast Tools

By

me on the iphoneI’ve been looking into mobile podcasting tools, specifically services that allow you to post podcasts to a blog from your cell phone. Here’s a list of tools I’ve found that do this:

  • Gcast – run by the people behind GarageBand (I actually have some scary bad songs somewhere on GarageBand)
  • TalkShoe – seems to do this and a whole lot more
  • Hipcast – upload files up to 250 MB in size
  • Yodio – don’t know much about this service
  • Gabcast – 200 MB per user for the free account, and 1 hour per recording
  • Jott – Not sure if Jott does quite the same thing, but I’m including them anyway. Jott allows you to record a message to voicemail, then it can email it out to whoever (and most bloggers can set up an “email to post” email account, which would work)

Anyone use any of these tools? Is there another one I should add to the list? Thanks!
