ALCTS webinar: Preserving Podcasts: How Libraries Can Help

Date: Wednesday, December 4, 2019

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 AM Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 PM Central, and 2 PM Eastern time.

Description: Indie podcasters are creating works spanning topics reflecting
their unique perspectives, backgrounds, and communities. Preserve This
Podcast (PTP) is a 2-year Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grant-funded project
whose goal is to create a podcast, zine and website, all which provide
indie podcasters the tools and know-how to organize, backup and describe
their digital files.

This webinar aims to step participants through lessons put forth by the PTP
podcast. In turn, participants may re-use this teaching model through their
respective public programming. PTP also strives to develop general
awareness about podcasts among the library field as a powerful teaching and
outreach medium.

Learning outcomes:

Upon completion, attendees will:

   -

   have completed the three exercises from the Preserve This Podcast
   zine/workbook about organizing digital files into a folder hierarchy, 3-2-1
   backup plans, and understand the importance of metadata for preservation;
   -

   be able to describe preservation needs of independent podcasters,
   reflecting file formats created (MP3s, WAVs), recording and editing tools,
   streaming platforms, preservation barriers related to budget, skillset, and
   the community podcasters are reaching; and
   -

   have a keen understanding of podcasts as not just an entertainment
   medium, but as a tool for librarians to use in educating, connecting with,
   and reaching their patron base.


Who should attend?

Public service and outreach librarians/programmers, memory lab
builders/planners, digital media makers, zine makers or librarians, oral
historians, archivists, preservationists, cultural heritage professionals,
audiophiles, a/v professionals, podcast cons
