College of DuPage Teleconferences Available to BCR Member Libraries
Staff at BCR member libraries can look forward to another year of access to the College of DuPage teleconferences at no charge to them. Eleven state library agencies within BCR, along with the Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC), together have funded a group license with the College of DuPage, negotiated by BCR on their behalf.
The broadcasts begin in October. They are:
Soaring to Excellence 2008 — Mapping the Library Landscape: Every library worker a trendspotter- October 26, 2007: "Finding the Trends That Matter: Get Your Environmental Scan On"
- February 8, 2008: "People Watching With a Purpose: Meeting Needs Before They Need It"
- April 11, 2008: "Trends, Fads or Folly: Spotting the Library Trends That Really Matter"
Library Challenges and Opportunities 2008
- March 7, 2008: "Library Spaces: Future Needs"
- May 9, 2008: "Library Challenges and Opportunities...Into the Future"
Libraries may downlink the satellite coordinates to the five College of DuPage teleconference programs for on-site viewing, or staff may view the teleconferences via webcast from any location with adequate Internet access. The webcasts, also available at no charge to libraries, will be archived and available for 30 days following the live broadcast. Libraries may order tapes or DVDs of the broadcasts for their collections for $30 each.
Register online for the satellite downlink or the webcast by completing BCR's online registration form. View the downlink site-license terms on BCR's Web site.
