I completed Method # 10 and really learned alot. Yes, I have used online meeting or online conferencing tools before. I have attended several webinars and do occasionally skype with friends.
The library does not currently use online methods internally or for our patrons. We do have some ideas that we are considering. The staff person in charge of young adults is looking into skype programs, such as skype an author, for her TAG (teen advisory group). We believe that would be a great group to begin using online with because they are already familiar with many aspects of it.
I would like to see the library use online methods for staff training and for communications with other rural libraries.
The Skype An Author project was really interesting. I will pass this link on to our YA staff. On the Tigard Public library section, I really liked the idea of how they are handling the noise factor involved in skype. Plus, I had never heard of a usb phone. The video on the library book clubs was hard to hear. The Web Conferencing Tools article was really well written and presented the basics in a clear and concise fashion.
