Module 3 Podcasts

I took the opportunity to listen again to the Library podcast of Professor Alistair Thomson of Monash University giving the 2008 Don Grant Lecture on the topic Moving Stories, part of Family History Feast 2008.
Alistair is a superb speaker who has a strong interest in oral history. He uses these techniques to great effect in this talk when he catches up with four English women who migrated to Australia in the 1960s. A moving and poignant presentation.

Podcasts are already being used extensively in libraries and archives for example The National Archives in London. I am keen that the Library investigates ways to add the complementary powerpoint slides to our podcasts. This is often requested by members of the public but so far hasn't happened.
