In the intercession between spring semester and my summer internship, I’ve been delving further into the realm of podcasts, looking for resources to enhance my Library & Information Studies education. I’ve located and subscribed to a number of library and book related podcasts, which I believe will help me to expand my awareness of current events as well as popular, award-winning and recently published books that library customers may want. These podcasts allow me to make better use of my time—hours spent driving, exercising or washing dishes now become opportunities to cram more useful information into my head.
To expand my knowledge and awareness of noteworthy current literature, I am listening to the following podcasts:
New York Times Book Review NPR Book Tour Podcast NPR Books Podcast BBC World Book ClubTo increase my knowledge of classic literature, I am following the Classic Tales Podcast.
To follow current events, hot topics and developing issues in the library and information service arena, I have subscribed to these podcasts:
Book Lust with Nancy Pearl The Library 2.0 Gang Library Geeks Library Luminary Lectures LISNews Netcast Network Longshots: Library-Related Commentary and Interviews Uncontrolled VocabularyAll of these podcasts can be located and subscribed to through iTunes.
