Podcasts, Libraries and Technology, CNI2006spring, and Social Software

In this 19 minute recording, I sit down with University of Tennessee's Barbara Dewey and Julie Little.  We'll learn about their information commons and touch briefly on the concept of a virtual commons, and highlight some potential challenges associated with designing systems so that they're usable on a variety of mobile devices.

An earlier interview with Julie at last year's EDUCAUSE Annual Conference is also available, as is a recent one hosted by Jarrett Cummings.  Julie has also published a podcast introducing their information commons.
