podcasts
Kathryn Shaughnessy, Instructional Services Librarian
The St. John’s University Libraries inaugurated their Academic Podcasting Initiative in 2005, with the aim of capturing podcasts of those University programs and events which offer unique, mission-oriented content. We hope that these podcasts enliven academic and student-life engagement, and help enrich the community's academic resources. In capturing podcasts, the libraries are also taking a proactive role in forming our digital “information commons" to include audio technology in the univerisity's quest to promote information-, computer- and technology-fluency in the current student population as well as life-long learning among our alumni.
