Juice is no longer just a common breakfast beverage. It’s also graduated past being just a beverage to mix drinks. Although these are two valuable and beloved definitions of the word, there is now a new definition that might just change the way your library serves it’s students.
Juice, the open source software program was created so that users can subscribe to podcasts and listen to them at any time. Users can download these audio programs to several different types of portable music devices and listen to them any time it’s convenient.
The program, which works for both Windows and Mac users, uses a programming language called Python to search for the particular RSS feeds that the user is subscribed to and gather them in one place on the harddrive in nested folders titled as the program. Users can then listen to these podcasts on their machines or download them to an ipod or other portable digital device and listen to them anywhere at anytime.
Juice is good. Other…ahem…drinks mixed with juice are great. But Juice is a program that can be used in countless ways both on a personal level and in an educational setting. What are some ways you can think of to use this yummy Juice in your library?
