Tech Consultant's Meeting

Could we meet via OPAL at 10 AM on Wed, Oct 5th? I've heard from a couple of people that that would be a good date.

OPAL is a web conferencing tool - you can talk, hear, and text chat with the other people in the meeting. However, web cameras are NOT used.

TO ACCESS THE ICE OPAL MEETING ROOM YOU WILL NEED TO BE AT A COMPUTER WITH
INTERNET ACCESS AND A WEB BROWSER. IT WILL BE BEST IF YOU HAVE A HEADSET (WITH
HEADPHONES AND A MICROPHONE). YOU WILL NOT NEED A WEB CAMERA.
1. Point your web browser to http://www.opal-online.org/ (the OPAL website -
OPAL stands for Online Programming for All Libraries)
2. On the OPAL page, you will see a horizontal row of buttons with options --
select "Meeting Rooms".
3. Scroll down and select "Institute for Continuous Education -- Emporia State
University"
4. You'll see a name entry box and also a link to "install plug-in". You will
want to follow that link and install the "talking communities" plug-in. Talking
Communities is the software behind OPAL. Install the plug-in and sign-in to the
meeting room.
5. Call if you have problems or questions! Hope to "see" you there!

Sounds good to me. Chris has me looking into this already.

Excellent! Cindi mentioned that Chris might want to know about the meeting, too - so he could just sign-in briefly to see how it all works.
