Event Description

Starts: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 Eastern Daylight Time

More than ever, communities across the country are relying on their local libraries for support in these tough economic times. From helping patrons convert old resume files to enabling military families to connect overseas, libraries are challenged with offering more services on smaller budgets.

This one hour webcast will walk through over a half dozen free solutions that can help with some of the library’s toughest patron services challenges, including:

Zamzar – file conversion service
Drop.io/Senduit – file sharing services
Skype – free VOIP service
Delicious – social bookmarking application
Ning - online platform for user-created social websites and social networks
VoiceThread – collaborative multimedia application
Google Suite/Zoho – documents, reader, calendar, and more
ChunkIt! – web browsing tool
The inaugural showing of Technology on a Shoestring: Big Tools for Small Budgets, sponsored by Polaris Library Systems, is on Tuesday, March 24, 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.
