Apologies for cross-posting

I would like to announce my latest Cataloging Matters podcast, which is 
"A Conversation Between a Patron and the Library Catalog". This one is 
an experiment that I hope you will enjoy.
It's available at 
http://catalogingmatters.blogspot.com/2011/08/cataloging-matters-podcast-12.html

There is also a shorter version at 
http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/12351402/conversation-between-a-patron-and-the-library-catalog-short, 
and I think you'll see why.

Please share this link with anyone you think may be interested.
