“…During the last few years podcasting technology has received increasing attention in the higher education sector as an evolving educational tool (Evans, 2008;Fernandez et al, 2009;Lazzari, 2009;O'Bannon et al, 2011). It is widely implemented in the business and corporate world (Copley, 2007), is becoming more common in health education (Dysart, 2006) and has sharp inroads in libraries (Ragon and Looney, 2006;Bierman and Valentino, 2011). However, most of the research on podcasts carried out so far, in relation to their use in library, either concentrated on guiding librarians to implement Web 2.0 tools, focusing on podcasts along with other Web 2.0 applications (e.g.…”

“…One of the earliest works on the use of podcasting in the library has been reported by Balas (2005) and describes the Online Programming for All Libraries (OPAL) project offering its archived contents via web syndication as a podcast. Explaining the podcast initiative of Claude Moore Health Science Library, Ragon and Looney (2006) highlighted the effort of the project to make health science lecture series accessible to users through podcasting. While discussing Lancing Public Library's podcasting effort, Lee (2006) addressed podcasting as a catchy tool for promoting library services which attracts new users to specific programmes.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the application of podcast in academic and public libraries, focusing on its purposes and characteristic features. It seeks to measure the degree of adoption of podcast in different types of libraries across the continents. Design/methodology/approach -A content analysis method was used for data collection. Convenience sampling method was followed to select four samples of population, one from each of the four continents. Data were collected along the checkpoints developed by Nguyen and Tripathi and Kumar, and subsequently modified by the researcher. Microsoft Excel was used to analyze data. Findings -The analysis revealed that library podcasts have some basic features and are implemented for specific purposes. It also revealed that adoption of podcast varies along the geographical regions. The study found that extension of implementation of podcast is high in North American libraries whereas intension of adoption of podcast is high in Australian libraries. However, the reason of disproportionate use of library podcast may be attributed to the differential internet penetration rate along the regions. The paper also identifies areas where podcast is being effectively used by libraries across the world.Research limitations/implications -The present study was limited to North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and the survey was completely internet-based, conducted on web sites available in English only. A combination of questionnaire and interview method may enable future researchers to measure the impact of podcast on users' and librarians' attitude and perception, which in turn, will determine the extent to which podcast is capable of motivating and engaging users to harness library facilities.Originality/value -Based on the research findings, the scope of the present study may potentially be expanded with the inclusion of different dimensions to gain a comprehensive understanding on the practicability and usefulness of podcast in different libraries belonging to diverse socio economical levels. The findings will also guide future librarians and web developers alike in designing library web pages so that traditional library services could be provided in an innovative way to meet the expectations and information needs of the users.

[23][24][25] Een veel gehoorde angst van docenten is dat het aanbieden van opgenomen hoorcolleges zou leiden tot een afname van het collegebezoek.…”

Purpose -This paper aims to discover how many American research libraries produce podcasts, on what subjects they are produced, and how those podcasts are promoted. Design/methodology/approach -The researchers looked at each American research library's website in December 2009 to determine whether the library had a podcasting initiative and, if so, what topics were covered. General scanning of the website, site search and Google search were used to discover podcasts. Facebook and Twitter pages were also examined to determine whether social media were used for podcast promotion. Findings -It was found that approximately one-third of American research libraries have podcasting initiatives. Podcast subjects vary widely, and social media are only used occasionally to promote the podcasts. The paper concludes that podcasting is a technology that has not yet reached its zenith and libraries have many avenues left still to explore using this technology. Originality/value -The paper provides a broad exploration of podcasting by ARL libraries, a perspective that is not yet offered by the literature.
