In March, Dale, Sheila and Jimmy talked about WebJunction and our participation in Services to Spanish -Speakers. Our discussion focused primarily on the podcast for library card applications. Overall, the staff was enthusiastic about WebJunction and were interested in looking at all the wonderful tools and services that WebJunction offers library staff.

Thank you for the update from Deschutes! I thought this quick guide about podcasting might be helpful: http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=16133. It is part of the Blended Learning Guide WebJunction published last year. Please keep us posted. I am sure many other libraries would be interested in creating similiar podcasts.

Hope to meet you in person at OLA/WLA next week!
