IM has great connecting capabilities for kids with friends they need to talk to - constantly, Me? Not so much. Perhaps it could be used in larger libraries in some way? Tools we use at Blue Earth Community library...email is used for notices, holds particularly work well. Webinar attended here at library, hooked up with Minitex last October. I used the internet T1 connection here and telephone connection for sound. It was very worthwhile, I enjoyed listening to the discussion with everyone involved. Very valuable learning tool that we see used by schools and colleges.
We do have a website becl.org, on it we post our newsletter which is one year old this month. And we have a address to e-mail questions to our director, Eva Gaydon. Mostly we have received genealogy questions, which consist of requests for obituaries. This communication tool thing is the most exciting to me. Wish I could learn more. Well we did a google chat last Thursday so we got some practice. Lorraine and I chatted!
