I had an email from someone attempting to access the SirsiDynix Institute Audio seminar archives, which no longer appear on their website. This is a concern to me, because I have a link on this website to an audio seminar I provided for them waaaaay back on Dec. 11, 2007. You can access my audio seminar “Guide to Roving, an Essential Service for Library 2.0″ on Apple iTunes at no charge.

You can also access more of the FREE  SirsiDynix Institute Archived seminars at Apple iTunes at

http://www.apple.com/itunes/

You may have to download iTunes (its free). Once you are on the main iTunes page click on  “podcasts”, then “audio podcasts” then use the search window at the top right to enter “Sirsidynix Institute”….and – Voila! There are the archives. You can sort the list by date, name, duration. They are all free. Enjoy!!!!

If you are interested in learning more  about “roving” outside of the building check out this upcoming audio conference related to community outreach.
