Library Podcasting Resources for Staff

My library (San Mateo County Library) is recording podcasting content right now, though we haven't reached critical mass yet with the content amount to launch our podcasting blog(s).  I did think that it might be helpful to others if I shared the materials I'm using here to train our staff about what podcasting is, how to actually do it with the nice recorder we have, and all of the copyright issues that go along with podcasting. 

Feel free to use and modify these materials for your own staff, as long as attribution is given to me and San Mateo County Library for the original materials.  Consider it our contribution to the greater good :)

• SMCL Guide to Podcasting
• How to Record a Podcast
• Legal, Copyright, and Podsafe Content Issues

Update: Some people have e-mailed me asking me what our library includes in our podcasting kit.  The items are listed at the top of the "How to Record a Podcast" document (which is linked above).  They are:

• portable digital recorder (Edirol R-1)
• bag with lapel microphone and earphones
• bag with power cord and extra batteries
• fanny pack (for mobile speakers to use to hold the recorder)
• documentation and release forms
