Abstract

The revolutionary innovations of Internet technologies have changed the ways in which people think, communicate and search information immediately. In this context, libraries have great challenges before them. Researchers often do not have sufficient time to conduct comprehensive online searches to locate the latest information relevant to their areas of specialty. Despite an increasing availability of online content and a continuing need to have the latest information easily accessible, a new method is needed to bring information to the user in an effective and efficient manner. This paper focuses on the benefits of using podcast technology in library and information science.
