Integration of podcasts into NoteBooks catalogue.

Thoughts:

We need an automatic feed into the catalogue - copying and pasting is not
an issue - that what we would have to do anyway and thats what we are
trying to avoid.
We need to be able to see the podcasts under subject headings (separate
from other materials) as well as by series as well as just by title.
Clicking the link plays it - how do they download it?

My thoughts:

1. Display

Use the existing layout of the catalog. Under the format view there would be a
new
format..."Podcasts".

If you opened up a record you would see something like the following:

If you click the link in the rich text "attachment" field it would play either
audio or video,
depending on what it was.

2. Loading

The most difficult part of this is to automatically load the data. My thought
was do decipher
the MP3 data programmatically and load it into a NOTEbookS record. So there
would be a button
(possibly in the MARC import screen) which would say "Import Podcasts". It
would allow you to
browse through your My Music folder on your computer, select the podcasts you
wished to load, and
it wold then programmatically load them into the NOTEbookS catalog. The rest
of this (the
display portion) can be done without programming.

Would not jhust require a feed - need to create a new view for it - ie Format
Podcasts - but then
need sub headings of subjects.....
Actually would require quite a thinkthrough of how to display.

Hi Beau

In which database do you recommend we place podcasts - each one is
an
individual topic but part of a series produced by the same
institution. In
what field would the file be stored? Would it be playable?
