I know the assignment only required viewing one (1) archived webinar from any of the sources listed in this lesson. I examined the archives at Infopeople, SirsiDynix, BCR, Wimba (WebJunction – Kansas) and Opal. At Infopeople I looked at New Copyright Tools and Best Practices: Copyright Law Update 2010 a webinar originally presented by Mary Minow on Jan 14, 2010 from 12pm-1pm PST. At SirsiDynix I viewed From Libraries to Lifebraries originally presented Feb 2, 2010 by Helene Blowers, Director of Digital Strategy, Columbus Metropolitan Library, Ohio. I found Ms. Blower's examination of current trends suggesting that the imminent demise of print may be somewhat exaggerated very interesting. At BCR I made a quick pass through The Future for Cataloging led by Linda Gonzalez on January 25, 2008. I want to go back when I have more time and explore this session in more depth. For a Wimba session I chose The Kansas Tax Form Webinar held on Friday, December 18, 2009. Finally, at Opal I looked at their Archive of History and Genealogy Programs and more specifically at the archived session Genealogy: How to Write to the Courthouse presented by Christine Merseal of the Jefferson County Library in Missouri in November 2007. I rather liked the various format options that most of the Opal webinars offered, to wit: I am planning on sitting in on the live Infopeople webinar Open Office: What Libraries Need to Know featuring Laura Solomon as speaker scheduled for Thursday, March 18, 2010 from 12pm-1pm PDT. Of course, I will also being joining this project wrap-up webinars during the week of April 26-30. |
