To library staff and supporters:
As travel budgets constrict and the cost of offering webinars drops, NETLS and other providers will continue to increase training through webinars.
Our workshop, A Librarian’s Guide to Webinars, offers tips and tricks related to webinar offerings and attendance.
· Do you know webinar etiquette?
· Do you know how to communicate with other attendees individually and how to address the group?
· Are you familiar with the tools available to attendees and presenters?
Learn all of the above and how to check connections and settings to ensure a stress-free session. Attendees will have an opportunity to see webinars from both presenter and attendee perspective. This three-hour training session is designed to teach webinar basics. The class will complete hands-on exercises using the open source webinar tool, DimDim.

This is also a good time to reserve your seat for New, Emerging and Useful Technologies. Learn how to make good decisions about using new technologies. Presenter Linda Braun will discuss current new tools and even some coming soon!
· How do libraries adapt to mobile devices?
· Do check-in services meet a library need?
· What about e-book readers and e-book apps?
In the afternoon, take some time to play with the technology at the Tech Petting Zoo. NETLS will have devices available so you can try them out for a hands-on experience
