Podcasting

Planetneutral: Correcting ASU link

Podcasting is a simple means of distributing audio content over the Internet, taking advantage of the power of [[Collaborative Tools in Libraries#RSS|RSS]]. Content consumers (end-users) can subscribe to a feed of a producer's audio content and receive automatic downloads of new content as it is made available online. A more comprehensive discussion of podcasting can be found in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting Wikipedia entry on podcasting].

For the library that works hard to produce audio content such as recordings of programs or library tours, podcasting can be an effective means of making that content more widely available.

Podcasting

2011-03-22T12:38:49Z

Planetneutral: removing OK dept of libraries - appears to have been taken down from their revamped website

Podcasting is a simple means of distributing audio content over the Internet, taking advantage of the power of [[Collaborative Tools in Libraries#RSS|RSS]]. Content consumers (end-users) can subscribe to a feed of a producer's audio content and receive automatic downloads of new content as it is made available online. A more comprehensive discussion of podcasting can be found in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting Wikipedia entry on podcasting].

For the library that works hard to produce audio content such as recordings of programs or library tours, podcasting can be an effective means of making that content more widely available.

Podcasting

2008-04-03T20:10:41Z

Planetneutral: Removing NSLS as it's really Sarah Long's podcast and better suited for the list at LISWiki.

Podcasting is a simple means of distributing audio content over the Internet, taking advantage of the power of [[Collaborative Tools in Libraries#RSS|RSS]]. Content consumers (end-users) can subscribe to a feed of a producer's audio content and receive automatic downloads of new content as it is made available online. A more comprehensive discussion of podcasting can be found in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting Wikipedia entry on podcasting].

For the library that works hard to produce audio content such as recordings of programs or library tours, podcasting can be an effective means of making that content more widely available.

Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki

2006-06-07T01:36:59Z

Planetneutral: Reversion to last Meredith edit

''News: Contribute to the [[Self-Promotion Tips for New Librarians]] page!

The [[web4lib Manager's Reference Center]] will soon be located on the Library Success Wiki!''

= Introduction =

Welcome to Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki. This wiki was created to be a one-stop-shop for great ideas and information for all types of librarians. All over the world, librarians are developing successful programs and doing innovative things with technology that no one outside of their library knows about. There are lots of great blogs out there sharing information about the profession, but there is no one place where all of this information is collected and organized.

If you've done something at your library that you consider a success, please write about it in the wiki or provide a link to outside coverage. If you have materials that would be helpful to other librarians, add them to the wiki. And if you know of a librarian or a library that is doing something great, feel free to include information about it or links to it. Basically, if you know of anything that might be useful to other librarians (including useful websites), this is the place to put it. I hope this wiki will be a venue where people can share ideas with one another and where librarians can learn to replicate the successes of other libraries.

This wiki is not run by any commercial entity and does not represent any commercial interests. For those wishing to use content in the wiki the wiki itself (and all the content contained herein) is licensed under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs] Creative Commons License. Please familiarize yourself with the license before using any of the content on your own site.

'''Anyone''' who wants to add to or edit topics on the wiki can do it. You don't need to ask before making a change -- this wiki belongs to the community of librarians who use it. If you have any technical questions about the wiki, please contact its creator, [http://meredith.wolfwater.com/contact.php Meredith Farkas]. Questions about specific content in the wiki should be directed to that individual author.

If you are going to link to this wiki, please use the following URL:

[http://www.libsuccess.org/ http://www.libsuccess.org]

= Join the Community =

While I am not going to require that people register on the wiki, it would be great if you did. It makes it easier for us to identify spam and it makes the wiki much more like a community if we can get to know each other a little. When you register, you can then add to your own user profile page. Please add your profile to the [[Wiki User List]] so we can all get to know each other!

'''Note:''' If you are going to add to the list of recommended vendors or software, please put your name on your recommendation so we know that it's not from a vendor. From here on in (7/8/05), we will have to delete any '''new''' vendor/software recommendations that do not have the author identified.

If you want to see recent changes made to the wiki, visit [http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges Recent Changes]. There is also an [http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&amp;feed=rss RSS Feed] for the Recent Changes page.

= Categories =
Check out the [[Categories|alphabetized list of categories]] with alphabetized lists of articles in each category.

If you add a new category, please add it to this list on the main page so people can easily find it. You can also add new pages off of the pages in each category (subpages). For example, if you want to go into depth with a "success story" about gaming, you can create another page for the details on the success story and just put a little teaser or title on the gaming page (with a link).

''You can easily add a new page by putting the title of the new page inside double brackets on the front page (you can see the formatting when you go to edit this page). Then, when you click on that link, you will be taken to a new page that you can add to.''
