JISC

JISC podcasts are now available via RSS feed or i-Tunes. This means that they can, on subscription, be received automatically and free of charge.

JISC has been piloting podcasts over the summer with interviews with leading figures in the education, research, library and publishing fields and with programmes on topical issues such as Web 2.0 and repositories.  

So far interviewees in the series have included Carwyn Jones (Speaker of the House in the Welsh Assembly Government), Chris Batt (Chief Executive of the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council – MLA), Professor Drummond Bone (former President of Universities UK), Kevin Guthrie (President of Ithaka) and many others.

Further interviews and programmes are planned in a wide range of areas of interest in the coming weeks and months, including repositories, digital preservation, e-learning and access management, among others. 

Hector Peebles, JISC’s multimedia editor, said: ‘Podcasts are becoming more and more popular in a wide range of contexts, including education and research, and the popularity of JISC’s podcasts are a clear sign of people’s growing enthusiasm. Being able to subscribe to JISC podcasts will we think add to their popularity, bringing convenience and ease of access to a growing number of listeners.’
