Online Meetings


I have attended webinars and online meetings during work and for my library science classes. It seems like the amount of enjoyment that I get out of them is directly proportional to how much interest I have in the topic. The lack of personal interaction in a webinar can make a boring topic even more snooze-inducing, especially since the presenter can't see you dozing off.

However, I would love to try an online meeting with an interesting author. Since it costs so much to bring an author in for a face to face presentation, I know of libraries connecting with authors online. I think that the teens that I work with would really respond to talking with their favorite author, even if it's not face to face.
