Hurricane Gustav: online info

If you would like to keep informed about Hurricane Gustav, the National Hurricane Center has begun an experimental podcasting service, with podcasts issued every few hours during a hurricane landfall along the U.S. Coast or U.S. Territorial Islands. When a current podcast is available, a link to the RSS/Podcast feed and a link to the corresponding directory with the latest audio (mp3) file will be displayed. You can right-click and choose "save" to download the file; or Once the podcasts are older than 4 hours, they are no longer available on the page.
There is also a Gustav information network set up on Ning, with bloggers posting information about major news events and alerts.

library and information science

Inside Higher Ed. reporter Scott Jaschik has podcast (it's an mp3 file) an interview with Loriene Roy, the new president of the ALA. In the 15 minute interview she talks about library schools, information science, and how academic programs have been evolving as information grows and changes. It's a very good interview, she does an excellent job of explaining what librarians and libraries do, and why we're important.

Educational podcasting

The Chronicle of Higher Education has a 10 minute podcast guide to college podcasts. It "stars" Daniel Colman, a dean at Stanford, who blogs about educational podcasts on his blog, Open Culture. He's collected a large library of educational podcasts (it also includes some videocasts) and organized it by subject matter on his blog.
