Beyond Method #10

I have had the opportunity to participate in video conferencing in the past; however, I still can't believe that I have never Skyped - not even personally! It's on my bucket list for 2012. My coworkers and I have had online conferences before using Elluminate, and I've attended countless webinars that have used Go To Meeting, Web Ex, and others. I really like the concept especially for training purposes. Because the option of recording and playback is available, these meetings allow participants to revisit the conference. And the cost savings is enormous. I definitely see a place for more video conferencing in libraries and hope to extend beyond authors and into virtual guest speakers with say - a marine biologist, a cake decorator, and others - real world views.
