Podcasts have already become part of our family at home and I could see a real benefit of them in helping patrons at a library. I work at a school, and the use of media devices by students is discouraged during the school day. However, links, web-sites etc could be used in reports, to enhance presentations both by teachers and students. I spend time researching and give infomation to the teachers about new books and media so, I could also find podcasts to support curriculum such as presidential speeches, news reports, culture, etc. I could see a benefit using podcasts this way.
