In our reference meeting we discussed the possibility of my working on a podcasting project involving either Library Instruction or some other function. I told them while I am the uncontested champion on all things electronic, I firmly contend that the purpose must be clear, the medium (podcast) must be a good fit and

for the love of GOD...
make it engaging, entertaining, interesting, something!

One idea mentioned was this:
Alden Library now has a new way for you to learn about the library. Now you can listen to a tour on your mp3 player or iPOD. Simply download the audio file of the tour to your mp3 player or iPOD, and listen as you walk around the library. The tour hits all seven floors of the library and takes about 30 minutes. You can download the entire tour below (about 15 minutes of audio) to take the entire tour all at once, or visit the Podcast Tour Page to download each floor separately.
