Description: Western Union sent its last telegram on February 3, 2006, citing a percipitous decline in use. The Internet has redefined so many aspects of our lives, including the tools we use for communication. In this hands-on course we will explore instant messaging, voice over IP, text messaging, podcasting and vlogging, screencasting, social networking websites, and virtual worlds, and how libraries can use these technologies. This is a fun, interactive course where you will be exposed to many services that you may have heard about but haven't had a chance to investigate.
You will learn about:
  • Various software packages used for communication over the Internet
  • How patrons are using these tools and where the library fits in
Time: Five hours
Location: This full day "Customized Training" session can be brought to your library at any time.
Who Should Attend: Anyone who is curious about new communication technologies and reaching out to users.
Cost: $995.00 per customized training event, plus expenses
To schedule: To schedule courses at your library and to discuss costs, audience numbers, and physical requirements, please contact Susan Abell (1.800.635.4638 x1944 or abell@nelinet.net).
