Carnival of the Infosciences #13

Let the triskaidekaphobes and Samhainophobes run in fear, it's time for the (un)lucky 13th edition of the Carnival of the Infosciences, just in time for Halloween. No tricks, just treats galore to Rochelle for a great job hosting this week.

I seem to have totally spaced out and forgotten to pursue hosts for the upcoming weeks. Next week is covered as the Carnival will be moving to the excellent Information Community News weblog. Send those submissions to jilloneill (at) nfais dot org.

After that, I'm wide open. Am I going to have to grovel to my previous hosts (always welcome and encouraged to host again of course!) or will some newcomers step up to the mic?

Muskingum joins the party

I'm trying not to reiterate most of what I read in my aggregator, so I'm only sharing new podcasts if I didn't read about them from any of my numerous trusted sources. Today. I stumbled across the library+technology smorgasbord, which led me to discover a podcast feed for the Muskingum College Library (link goes to their blog). So far, they are using podcasting technology to distribute their Author Talk Series.

Can your patrons subscribe to the programming you work so hard to make happen at your library? Maybe it's high time that they could.

The Secret Agent — Chapter 11

Well this one was a long time coming - the chaos around the launch of the OpenLibrary delayed timely podcasting delivery. Sorry about that! However, we now have a healthy back-catalog, so those of you podcast listeners will now have a regular schedule of LibriVox goodness. Send questions and comments to librivox@yahoo.ca

The Priestly Sins: A Book Review

this is an audio post - click to play

Father Andrew Greeley holds up a mirror reflecting the sexual abuse scandal in the modern church thru the fictional memoirs of holesome prairie-bred Father Herman Hugo Hoffman. The book makes us think and consider who the real evil-doers are: the abuser priests or the hierarchy who knowingly cover up their attrocities.

Always Magic… (4)

The scary genius of rock 'n' roll, peeling away the layers of our culture, the true magic of this music, and the disonance of the shameful Judith Miller and what's up at the 'Newspaper of Record.'

The Podcast Cybertour

So the Podcasting Cybertour that I recorded for Internet Librarian was presented on Tuesday. I haven't heard any feedback from anyone other that the program chair, Jane Dysart, so I assume that no one I know caught it. Jane says the chairs were full and it went off without a hitch, but beyond that, I have no idea if it was useful at all.

I guess I'll let you be the judge. Here's the PowerPoint that goes along with the mp3. Those of you subscribed to the podcast feed should expect the mp3 to download automatically, but not the PowerPoint (or vice versa, but I think I remember correctly that the last media file posted is the one that will get enclosed).
