Thanks to Jeff Parks, Jackie Wu, and Kit Seeborg of the B&A/V Podcast team for working their hearts out, as well as ASIS&T and the IA Summit organizers for their support.
Are there any plans to post the presentations from these talks online somewhere? For example, I’d love to be able to actually SEE some of the visualizations that Todd Warfel describes in the podcast.
Regardless, thanks for the podcasts – these are great for those of us who would have liked to attend the conference, but couldn’t swing it.
Terry,
Several of the presentations can be found on the IA Summit site http://iasummit.org/2008/conference.html You can also see a couple of slide share links on day one and day two, for example, where presenters have added audio to their presentations.
Happy to hear you’re enjoying the shows; ideas or feedback for future events are most welcome.
Cheers!
By when do you expect to have all the podcasts posted?
I attended several panels that were taped, but whose podcasts I still haven’t seen.
Where is the boxesANDarrows RSS podcast XML file? None of the RSS feeds have podcasts!
