Description:  With GoToWebinar you can conduct do-it-yourself webinars. Reduce travel while reaching larger audiences around the world. Hope has had a lot of fun working with LMD getting to know the GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar platforms, as well as exploring several other options of platforms before SLA decided on this one.   This past year she hosted the LMD webinars before turning them over to David Cappoli this spring.

The objective for this session is to cover what you need to know to be comfortable setting up and running an online meeting with GoToWebinar.

–What to do before a meeting to prepare
–What to do during a meeting to make the event successful for you and for your clients
–What to do after a meeting to get feedback from your attendees, harvest the data collected by GoToWebinar, and provide a recorded version of the session.

This session is targeted for those SLA members who are considering running their own webinar sessions, whether in an SLA setting, in a corporate or non-profit setting, or as individual entrepreneurs.

The Western NY Library Resources Council is happy to announce a workshop series for fall, “Developing Robust Websites,” consisting of full-day, intensive classes designed to help you enhance your library’s web presence. You do not need to register for each class – choose the ones that most fit your needs.

Please note that many classes have prerequisites. The “XHTML, HTML and CSS” class can help you meet those requirements if you do not already have that knowledge. The first class in the series will provide an overview of the topics to come. This is not required in order to take the other classes, but can be a good way to learn some basics without taking a full class in each. Or it can give enough information to help you decide if you want to learn more in one of the later classes.

*Supported by Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds, awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.*

Each workshop is limited to 15 attendees. Lunch will be provided at all sessions.
