Podcasts

There is so much out there!!
I've subscribed to a news commentary feed by Dan Carlin who I've never listened to before. I mainly get my news commentary by free-to-air radio and TV, but if I ever have a free moment to explore the world of podcasts it seems fairly straightforward to access a huge inventory of reference topics. Good to know many of the public broadcasts are saved and accessible as podcasts.
It will certainly save our librarian time to access these rather than having to set up to record them for various teachers/faculties.
Odeo.com has an enormous repertoire of equestrian events which would interest me, but the cost of downloading (time/money) puts them out of my normal time/money budget.

I started a searchroll for researching information on Smart Boards.
I found it was a much slower search engine than Google, for my purposes, where I just want to scan for available information on products and usage and lesson plans for the classroom.
If I were in a position where I wanted to accumulate references for ongoing research, and wanted to develop a network of contacts researching the same topic, then it would be very useful to have a personalised online bibliography to link to, as well as current reviews of the material from like-minded researchers.
