This is a series of podcasts which give instructions on how to use the RMIT Library and other items of interest to students such as plagiarism, referencing, using Google Smart. The site is authoritive as it is produced by a reputable academic institution despite the .biz url. No authors are given for site although the url has an author name within it. Contact details are available via the podcast page to members of the staff. No update dates are given for the site although the bottom of the web page refers to copyright RMIT University 2010.
This is a good podcast site as it can not only be used by RMIT students but also other interested parties. General information on the use of dictionaries and ABS info are included. The podcasts use a conversation between a librarian and a student as the learning tool. Of interest is the transcript on 'Copyright and wrongs' which gives a good rundown on the use of images and music in student work and their attribution. About half way through this transcript the librarian and the student are suddenly transposed in their roles with the librarian asking questions and the student answering.

Wow, there are quite a few useful podcasts here that have wider applicability than just RMIT. I think I might try to incorporate some into Assist with customer services
