The Hackelmeier Memorial Library will be providing regular podcasts to keep you updated on what is happening here. A Podcast is a method of regularly updating and disseminating digital content where you can receive new files automatically by subscription. Podcasts are audio recordings and can be received with podcasting software whenever new recordings are provided. If you have an MP3 music player, you can listen with that, or if you prefer, you can just click on the link and listen directly.
Here’s an overview of this edition:
A quick introduction to podcasting for those of you might be wondering what it is.
We cover some of the exciting news about what is going on in the library this semester – an update on the wireless network, new technology, & resources.
In honor of Founders day, we have excerpts from an oral history interview with Sister Estelle Nordmeyer, who worked here in the early years when the college was just beginning. Marian’s Poet Laureate, professor Dave Shumate, gives an introduction to the project.
In our first segment of Tech Tips and Tactics I will cover the basics of subscribing to an RSS feed which will allow you to regularly receive information from the various library feeds and stay updated.
The first episode is 19 minutes long and 9 Megabytes in size. We hope you enjoy our first offering and are interested enough to keep listen. We have lots of cool things to share and think this will make a great way to keep you updated as you go about your busy lives.

PS - I know the sound quality of my first effort is not perfect, but the software program kept crashing on me when I need it to compress. Such is the way of technology. I promise it will sound better next time. :-)
