I've just taken a tour of one of the Discovery Resources for Thing 25. I chose to visit the Sheridan Libraries at John Hopkins University as they had a link called Ask a Librarian. How very convenient...our library has a link very similar to this as well - Ask The Library. When you access their podcast - two librarians discuss the services available to a customer when they walk in and visit the Information Desk. Actually, a pretty cool concept if you think about it. What if each of our links for services and programs had a brief podcast explaining exactly what that service was - such as Ready to Learn, Local History and Online Reference Sources. This would save our customers having to phone in and possibly be put on hold to get basic information they need.
On the flip side it seems to be a labor intensive to produce all of these podcasts and their subsequent maintenance. And on a personal level, I prefer to "watch" something versus just listening to it - maybe it's just a "visual thing" but I learn more that way.
