In issuing its first podcast, SUNY Fredonia will be giving the campus community a different kind of access to a panel discussion that will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 21. “The Paperless University: Myth or Reality,” will take place at 4 p.m. in the Japanese Garden area of the Reed Library, and can be downloaded as a podcast from the university website on Feb. 23. Interested audience members can either attend the discussion or download it later...or both!
The panel will feature Educational Technologist Janet Mayer (library), Professor Michael Jabot (education), Distinguished Teaching Professor Ted Steinberg (English), and Ken Fujiuchi, technology librarian at Buffalo State College.
After the event, the library will introduce its new “iPods for Checkout” program and its audio book collection for iPods. These programs were funded through grant money awarded by the campus’s 2006-2007 Convocation Committee. There will also be a drawing for prizes.
The podcast/panel discussion was conceived and organized by library staff Dawn Eckenrode, Darryl Coleman, Elise Torre, and Kerrie Fergen Wilkes, who proposed and obtained funding from the SUNY Fredonia Convocation Committee. The podcast is being produced in cooperation with the AIT and Website offices on campus. University webmaster Jonathan Woolson (media relations & website communications) said all university podcasts will be posted on the university’s news website at the podcast area.
