"Children can change the world. It’s awfully sad that with our clever brains, capable of taking us to the moon and developing all these sophisticated ways of communicating around the planet, that we seem to have lost wisdom; and that’s the wisdom of the indigenous people who would make a major decision based on how that decision would affect people seven generations ahead...." ( A quote by Dr Jane Goodall from the recent SLNSW Wisdom exhibition)One of the privileges of working at the State Library of NSW is being able to visit the wonderful exhibitions not just once, but on a number of occasions. It was well worth missing my lunchtime jaunts to the Botanic Gardens to savour, over a few days, the beauty and imaginings of the recent 'Wisdom' exhibition.
So I was delighted to discover during my 2.0 learning this week that the library has made a 'Wisdom' podcast available. This is but one of the entertaining podcasts that can be found at the following link:http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/podcasts/events/index.html
Apart from podcasts relating to the exhibitions and talks given at the library , I think it would be useful for the library to develop podcasts connected to the collections such as the 'History of Our Nation'. Also, given the experience and knowledge that some of the SLNSW staff have acquired through a long association with the library, it would be fascinating listening to podcasts about their personal histories at the library.
