Waxxi - An Interactive Podcast
Podcasts and 2.0
“I don't think that the main selling point of podcasting is itsinteractivity - the experience is still mostly one of a listener. . .I think that podcasting is an effective form of deliveringcontent and message. It's just not an inherently interactivetechnology in and of itself.”
“Our students like that it is an asynchronous mode ofcommunication, and that they can access it at their time ofneed. . . Overall our students seem pleased with it as anoption for refreshing their library skills.”
Podcasts and 2.0
o “You can't have a conversation, but itcommunicated effectively on other levels. It's astarting point that should lead students tolibrarians.”

Useful Serving some purpose - advantageous,
produces a good effect Employing pilot projects
Usable vs. Useful
“DO NOT just start podcasting so that you can sayyour library is podcasting. It is a great buzz wordand it looks good on paper, but make sure youhave the substance and the need behind it to reallymake the podcasts useful.”
“Make sure there is an actual demand and you aredoing it for the right reasons--not just to say you'vedone it.”
