Podcasting and Intellectual Capital
As a member of the Special Libraries Association, I receive their monthly magazine, "Information Outlook." The August edition had a great article on Podcasting. If you're a member of SLA, you can log in and read the article here. Although the article is aimed at using podcasting for "knowledge capture" in organizations, the academic implications would be similar. The article discusses benefits of podcasting, tips for creating podcasts, other uses for podcasts, and the future of podcasting. In my opinion, a podcast might not fully capture experiences in scholarly communication. However, as a support tool, or a supplement to work that is available elsewhere, podcasts could add a new dimension to knowledge sharing. I think it's an avenue worth exploring. Incidentally, the "Information Outlook" magazine is a great resource for hot topics in Information Science- I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out sometime.
