Before my winter break starts, I’ve posted the December episode of Adventures in Library Instruction. Happy holidays, everybody. See you in January.

This is a quickie post — I’m just back from Internet Librarian 2009, and several people at my podcasting cybertour asked me to post my slides. So, here!

I’m never really convinced that my slideshows are much use on their own (otherwise why bother presenting? You could just look at the slides).

I had a good time slot and a lot of people turned up for this session — I’m just sorry I only had 15 minutes!

The latest episode is up (what, it’s still October). Enjoy!

Well, September has been incredibly busy so far. I’ll try to get back to posting more regularly once things slow down a bit at work.

We did, however, find time to record a new ALI episode. Play it here or check it out over at the ALI blog for the full show-notey goodness with links and such.

The August episode of ALI is up — we talked (mostly) about Powerpoint and presentations, and were joined for the latter half of the show by Maurice Coleman of the terrific T is for Training podcast. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know if you’ve got topics or people you’d like to hear on future episodes.

I guess I got busy and forgot to mention this, or something. ACRL has very kindly invited me back for an encore presentation of my webcast “Podcasting for Libraries” on October 1. I’ll try to include as many other words as I can think of that include the suffix “-cast.”

Webcast description:
Podcasting is like an Internet radio show, or a blog with audio.  It uses the power of RSS syndication to automatically deliver new episodes to listeners.  There are millions of podcasts available, covering nearly any topic imaginable.  Any library can produce a podcast using free software and inexpensive hardware.  If you can post to a blog and talk into a microphone, you can create a podcast.  How can your library use podcasting as a tool for teaching, promotion, outreach and programming?

This session will explore:
• What a podcast is and isn’t
• How RSS makes a podcast work
• Free and cheap hardware and software for podcasting
• Recording and production
• Publishing and sustaining a podcast
• How libraries can use podcasting
• Finding the right voice to reach your audience

Registration is open now. I’m sure I’ll mention it again here closer to the event.

I’m on the Games in Libraries podcast this month, talking about my gaming and virtual worlds exhibit and how it contributed to my instruction work in unexpected ways. Enjoy!
