The room itself is now open to the public on a first come, first serve fashion in the STAC part of the library, with plans to extend if all goes well. "We plan to hold an open house for the students in the coming weeks, so we can formally show the room off and explain just exactly what podcasting is to those students who are unfamiliar with it," said Polanka.

"We are always brainstorming for ways to stay current, and we felt that the iPod is so common to college students, it was the right way to go."

The room will be equipped with computers and the necessary plug-ins for a student to come and get started with their very own podcasts. "One of the things that sets us apart is the sound walls we have in place that will allow students to talk or even make music in the most quiet environment we can provide," says Polanka

Look for the unveiling of the room sometime in early November where attendees will have the chance to win free iTunes gift cards and information about podcasting will be given out. For information about the event and/or podcasting, contact Sue Polanka at sue.polanka@wright.edu.
