Beyond Method #10

Our library has participated in online webinars that other facilities have set up. However, we have not used online meeting and conferencing tools other than tele-conferences. These are effective in that several people across the nation can participate at once. We have used tele-conferences also to conduct interviews with people who live out of state and this works very well.

In the future, I can see our library utilizing online conferencing tools to conduct business. Economically, video conferencing is a sound business idea.

Personally, I use Skype often to visit with my children and grandchildren who live out of state. Other family members have used Skype to keep in contact with military spouses stationed out of the country. The flexibility and ease of using Skype makes it a very desirable communication tool.
