Abstract
Responding to increased curricular needs for assignments requiring recorded spoken word, the Texas Tech University Libraries added two two-seat Podcast Studios in 2022. These spaces were designed with quality recording in mind and feature professional quality but easy to use equipment paired with audio software with free or open-source equivalents to allow patrons to edit their recorded audio from home. The service was conceptualized to have low impact on staff workflow, increasing the sustainability of the services as well as the independent creativity of patrons utilizing the service. Though adoption was initially slow, patron usage has increased rapidly.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Academic Librarianship, an international and refereed journal, publishes articles that focus on problems and issues germane to college and university libraries. JAL provides a forum for authors to present research findings and, where applicable, their practical applications and significance; analyze policies, practices, issues, and trends; speculate about the future of academic librarianship; present analytical bibliographic essays and philosophical treatises. JAL also brings to the attention of its readers information about hundreds of new and recently published books in library and information science, management, scholarly communication, and higher education. JAL, in addition, covers management and discipline-based software and information policy developments.
