Thing #6: Online Meetings

I attend webinars all the time. I think they're a great way to get information out to people, and it's really easy to connect to one. Just last week I attended Booklist's "High Demand Mysteries" that was offered on April 26th. I'm signed up for both the Library Journal "Christian Fiction Spring Round-Up" on May 5th and a "Universal Class Library Staff Training" on May 10th. The nice thing about the Library Journal webinar is that it will be archived. I actually can't be part of the webinar at 12pm on May 5th because I'll be at a workshop. But, because I've signed up ahead of time, I'll get access to the archive link for a later date. I love that option! If some of the content in the webinar isn't of interest to me, I can "fast forward" to the information I want to hear. Kind of like DVRing your favorite TV show and skipping the commercials!
