"Podcasting, an exciting new model for distributing audio content, is generating buzz across the Internet. But what is it exactly? And why should librarians care? We'll discuss the hows and whys of podcasting, including how to tune in, how to find interesting content and how your organization can take advantage of this powerful technology to reach more people in your community. Presented by Greg Schwartz, by day the Circulation Support Supervisor for the Louisville Free Public Library and by night a husband, father, and blogger and podcaster extraordinaire of Open Stacks.

For those of you who can't participate in the live online event, it will be available in the OPAL archive http://www.opal-online.org/archive.htm, and the MP3 version of the audiorecording will be distributed as an OPAL podcast http://feeds.feedburner.com/OpalPodcast.
