The subjects discussed in the podcasts include a wide range of topics related to the library and information storage fields. For example I found podcasts which cover digital records management in relation to archaeology, the golden age of science fiction in the 40s, the donation of an illuminated bible and the role of archives in research.
Here is the podcast on digital archaeology
Arizona State University Libraries. 2010. Digital Antiquity: Transforming Archaeological Data into Knowledge, Library Channel. [podcast] 08 Apr. Available at: https://lib.asu.edu/librarychannel/2010/04/08/ep104_digantiquity [Accessed: 14 Aug 2013].
This podcast
is authoritative as it is run by the University of Arizona with a host of the
podcasting being a librarian at the university. The guest speakers for this
episode are the Executive Director of Digital Antiquity and Associate Director and Professor, School of Human
Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State
University.
The main
purpose of the podcast is to discuss how libraries and archives can be used to
assist in the work being conducted at the university and to educate the
listener / watcher about these activities. This episode looks at the use of
digital photos in research and how it is important to ensure that he images
remain accessible as technology progresses.
As the
guests are talking about an organisation that they run, they could be biased in
favour of the use of this technology. They however explain the benefits that it
offers.
The intended
audience consists of the staff and students of Arizona State University mainly
so they technical details is pitched at a suitable level.
This podcast series provides a good overview of the services that the libraries provide to the university and demonstrates the value that libraries have in educational institutions.
Good discovery, Simon and your annotated citation is fine for both the blog, wiki and podcast.
