Method (Step) #10 -- Have Web will Travel!

We here at the library have been using web conferencing for some time now.  We belong to HALAN but we are located between 90 - 100 miles outside of Houston.  With gas prices going up and just wear and tear on our own cars, using web conferencing was a logical choice.  The majority of the time we use Go to Meeting.  Also all of the staff can access and attend online webinars from all over the country to continue learning about how the library works and where the library is going. 
We have a few people on staff that have personally used Skype to "talk" to loved ones and friends in different places.  I am not 100% sure that having that as a service here at the library would be an option but I think we could provide a quiet room for people who wanted to use Skype on their personal laptops and not be disturbed.
