Every time we turn on the radio these days there is a feature or advert for a podcast of one kind or another. The use of podcasting as a business tool is being considered in all sorts of fields. Journalscan features an article by business journalist Nick Clayton in which he looks at its uses – though technical developments may have overtaken it already. Netwatch also lists two podcasting websites. Continuing on an IT theme, another Journalscan article warns against keyloggers, who can take over anyone’s computer, and gives advice on how to combat this increasing problem, and another article deals with the security implications for businesses using Web 2.0. This issue’s Government section is bigger than usual. Neal, our new Government Publications Librarian, has been catching up on orders. There is a very interesting report on the future of unpaid care in Scotland, as well as the report by Sir David Henshaw into recovering child support. A book about world health statistics is also featured, as is the National Planning Framework report. The government initiates a lot of reporting! About half of Bectis annual subscriptions are due for renewal in March, which means it’s time for invoices to be sent out. Yet again we are keeping prices as they are, making Bectis great value for money compared to other information services.
