Podcasts and Libraries

I am currently interested in how libraries are handling podcasts. I realize there are some libraries like the Gordon Library at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute who are featuring library podcasts on their web page, "weekly library wisdom for the MP3 masses. (Check out their MESHING with the Medical Professionals: PubMed podcast)

What I am interested in is whether libraries are indexing or cataloging any podcasts. Specifically I am interested whether any medical libraries are finding great medical podcasts and including them in their library content. Previously I compiled a list of places with medical podcasts, and now I want to make that list more than just a list. I am thinking of cataloging and profiling it on our physician's newsletter. Has anybody done this? What have other libraries done? We catalog audio cd's and electronic books, why not podcasts? Just curious.
