Story of an Open Source Library October 21, 2010
San Francisco, California
This webinar will cover specific open source tools (some of which you may not have heard of before!) that work well for libraries and the benefits and challenges associated with their use. Meadville Public Library uses open source software on 90% of their public access computers.
Cindy Murdock Ames, IT Services Director and Kyle Hall, the library's on-staff developer, will share recommendations for libraries considering open source software and how to get started successfully. Cindy has been using open source software for over 10 years, which has allowed the library to save licensing costs and have more control over its computing environment. The library uses open source tools for their websites, e-mail, Internet firewall, wireless router, proxying, filtering, and productivity software. They use thin clients for Internet access and Koha for the circulation and public catalogs.

Hi,
As someone who hosts webinars, I thought you'd like to know about our website that launched in March. WebinarListings is a central portal for upcoming webinars (or really, anything that is virtual and scheduled) in any area of interest, around the world. You can list your webinars on our site for free, or upgrade to a Featured Listing which includes additional promotion (email, RSS, Twitter, Facebook, etc.). It's a great way to find new participants for your webinars.
We are currently running a promotion for new hosts to upgrade to Featured at no charge, so I'd like to invite you to add your webinars to the calendar this week! http://www.webinarlistings.com/how-to/webinar-hosts/#FreeTrial
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
