6 Free Web Conferencing Tools Librarians Will Love
Posted by Celia Walter | 20 May, 2008
Web
conferencing applications which enable a presenter to host a Webinar or
meeting with live video and audio, text chat, whiteboards, shared
files, and even desktop sharing offer countless opportunities for
collaboration, online training, and remote assistance. While many of
these sophisticated programs are costly, a new crop of free Web
conferencing applications has emerged which offer amazing alternatives
to traditional online meeting programs such as WebEx and GoToMeeting.
Librarians could use these free applications for holding office hours, reference consultations, library instruction, hosting their own Webinars, conducting live interviews, or collaborating with remote team members on projects.
