 Don’t miss this week’s “Chat with GPO” OPAL session on Thursday, May 14th at 1:00 p.m. EDT!
This first “Chat with GPO” session will focus on an overview of authentication for FDLP partners, and participants will have the opportunity to chat with Ted Priebe, GPO’s Director of Library Planning & Development (LPD) and Lisa Russell, the Manager of LPD’s Content Management unit.
The authentication session will be archived on the GPO OPAL site, so you will have convenient access at all times.
In order to participate in the live authentication session, please follow the instructions below. No prior RSVP is required for participation.
Connecting to the OPAL site:
- Go to the GPO OPAL room.
- Install the "Talkcom" plugin by clicking the "Download Here" button. Once you have installed the plugin, you can then go back to GPO OPAL room URL (the same window you had open) and click in the orange box to enter the room.
- You may use any name that you choose to log in to the conference room. No password is required for this session. However, for a meeting we suggest you use both your first and last name.
- The first time you enter the OPAL online room, a small software applet will automatically download onto your computer allowing you to enter the room. The applet enables your computer to participate in the discussion.
What do I need?
To participate in the event, you will need to be connected to the Internet, access an Internet browser, have speakers (turned on) to listen to the audio presentations, and a microphone connected to (or embedded) in your PC. The microphone allows active participation in the Conference Room using voice-over-IP (VoIP) to speak in the Conference Room. Those without microphones can still ask questions and post comments via text chat.
Stay tuned to the FDLP Desktop and FDLP-L for announcements on upcoming “Chat with GPO” sessions.
