Greg Schwartz over at Open Stacks has posted about this and I’m throwing in my 2 cents now with my own example. Stephen King has posted a “podcast” on the site for his new book Cell. But here’s the problem: It’s not a podcast! A podcast is Syndicated audio content not a link to a single MP3 file. Sorry Steve, here’s one buzzword that your tech people have failed to use properly. (Loved the book though.)
Michael Sauers is currently the Director of Technology for Do Space in Omaha, NE. Michael has been training librarians in technology for the past twenty years and has also been a public library trustee, a bookstore manager for a library friends group, a reference librarian, serials cataloger, technology consultant, and bookseller since earning his MLS in 1995 from the University at Albany’s School of Information Science and Policy. Michael has also written dozens of articles for various journals and magazines and his fourteenth book, Emerging Technologies: A Primer for Librarians (w/ Jennifer Koerber) was published in May 2015 and more books are on the way. In his spare time he blogs at travelinlibrarian.info, runs The Collector’s Guide to Dean Koontz Web site, takes many, many photos, and typically reads more than 100 books a year.
