Web tools, tutorials; Napster’s MP3s
Posted by Jacque on May 21st, 2008
Free Web conferencing tools useful for librarians
iLibrarian has collected a group of six Web conferencing applications that enable a presenter to host a Webinar or meeting with live video and audio, text chat, whiteboards, shared files, and even desktop sharing.
Web conferencing systems have been expensive and certainly beyond the every day uses that librarians might enjoy such as remote library instruction, hosting Webinars, and online meetings with library or community groups.
The t
ools include:
Free Web app tutorial sites
Web Worker Daily recommends four free tutorial sites especially for web developers. Topics covered include photoshop, DreamWeaver, Adobe Premiere and Illustration, Excel, CSS, and more.
The sites include:
TechTutor.TVNapster offers 6 million DRM-free MP3s
Napster has started offering its complete catalog of more than 6 million tracks in the MP3 format.
Napster’s Web-based store, where you can purchase and download the tracks, is compatible with every operating system, and the MP3s can be played on any MP3 player, portable video player, or music cell phone.
The online and To Go subscription services for $12.95 or $14.95 per month, respectively, will continue and the music associated with a subscription will remain in the protected WMA format with the time-out capability.

Thank you for mentioning Palbee in your blog. We do hope it becomes more popular with educational and knowledge workers, librarians included.
Something that your readers might be interested to know is that we are planning to release a new version of Palbee towards the end of June. This version will have a new design, new layout, support up to 10 people in a live conference at the same time, and include new features both on the web site and in the video conference application itself. Make sure to check back with us when the changes are made!
