Webinars

Check out these [|Webinar strategies] to help your presentation run with minimum nerves and maximum efficiency!

1. Update this wiki page as your project develops.

2. Work in groups of three or four. Please choose new partners from your previous projects.

3. Work together to select an issue/problem/challenge related to COPYRIGHT or SERVING THE UNDERSERVED/NON-TRADITIONAL POPULATIONS. Consider the bloggers you have been reading, your awareness of the profession, past PEP experiences you have had, etc. If you are currently working in a school, library, or information center and would like to present this Webinar as part of your work there, get in touch with me so we can make this useful for you. Be focused in your topic so that it fits effectively into the half-hour time slot.

3. Brainstorm how you will structure your presentation. Consider:
 * how you will split up the presentation so that we hear from each of you
 * how you promote interactivity (e.g., chat window, voting, polls)
 * how you will use audio, video, Web tours, and/or slides to enliven the experience

4. Sign up for a free trial at Elluminate.com. Note: There is a limit of 25 participants per Webinar using Elluminate's free trial.

5. Your presentation should last for no more than 30 minutes. Please do not schedule more than one presentation concurrently so we don't split our audience. However, there can be numerous presentations within a single day.

Catchy, descriptive title: Open Access: Less Money, Less Problems Date/time of Webinar: 5:00 pm Presenters' Names: Amanda K., Kayla L., Joanna P.  Description of your workshop in paragraph form: Crying over your diminishing collection budget? Contemplating cutting serials? You’re not alone! Academic libraries today often find themselves buying back work scholars at their universities produced for much more than it originally sold (if anything at all). In addition, libraries face the rising costs of serials at an unprecedented pace. How can we address the growing affordability issues and the inherent ethical dilemmas mixed into the market of knowledge? One copyleft solution is open access journals, peer reviewed journals that are free to access. This webinar will explore possible uses, the future of open access journals, and how you as a student or librarian can benefit from them in your academic library.
