摘要：In 2017, an academic health sciences library in Utah developed a multimedia studio for students, faculty, and academic staff. Educational projects needing video, audio, and lecture capture could utilize a one-button studio for recording video sessions, microphones for audio, and various screen capture software for lectures. Since the pandemic, this service has seen rapid growth due to academic lectures going exclusively online. In response, the library launched a dedicated podcasting suite to accommodate the increase in students and faculty needing to record lectures or podcasts for others in the medical profession. Description: This article will outline the process of creating the podcasting suite and provide equipment rosters and methods other libraries may consider for establishing their own studio. Administrating duties of the studio will also be included, such as handling reservations and user assessment. An instructional guide for users is also included to assist patrons in accomplishing their podcast creations. Conclusion: Podcasts created in the space range from topics about teaching strategies in medicine to diagnoses and treatments of skin disorders. A podcasting suite is another way libraries can provide valuable services for asynchronous learning and student projects. Students, staff, and faculty have appreciated the ease of the service and the support behind it. A feedback loop was developed to further improve the space to meet the needs of users. In 2017, staff from the Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah converted a computer lab into a complete audio and visual recording studio where students, staff, and faculty were invited to create educational multimedia projects. The space, which came to be known as the Tree of Hippocrates Education Studio (THE Studio), was primarily used to record video sessions, with limited capability to record audio-based projects and lecture capture. As the COVID-19 pandemic struck, staff saw an increase in demand for these recording resources as academic lectures transitioned to online. Audio-based projects were especially in demand and comprised 54% of all reservations between August 2020 and May 2021 (Figure 1). After a brief closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, staff revamped the space at the beginning of 2021 to accommodate the Podcasting Suite next to the video-recording equipment already supplied in THE Studio. This allowed the staff to serve a greater volume of students and faculty needing to record audio lectures or podcasts.
