August 20, 2009

Just a friendly reminder that there are 3 “Welcome to Gale” webinars on Friday.  You can join one of three sessions: 9:00 to 10:00, 10:30 to 11:30, or 3:30 to 4:30.  The final opportunity is the 31st of August.

Recall that interested teachers and administrators are welcome to participate.

Kurt Stovall, our Gale trainer, will introduce you to the 18 databases in our statewide package and explain the very basics of the interface. 

·        Registration:  No need to register. 

·        Equipment:  You need a computer with an Internet connection and a phone.

·        Instructions:  View or download a PDF with instructions here: http://www.galesupport.com/oregon/webinar.pdf.  Be sure to read it before joining a session as it provides some good tips for making sure your computer is webinar-ready.

·        Identify Your Library:  When logging in to the webinar, please use the space marked Company to identify your library.

Also, the Gale support site now lists a link to other Training Opportunities.  Look for it in the very top bar just under “Welcome State of Oregon.”  www.galesupport.com/oregon
