Don't Be a Dum-Dum: Go Virtual With DimDim!

With today's economic situation, libraries are under pressure to cut costs
yet maintain staff and materials. Very often, off-site training and meetings
are the first things to be cut. Don't do that! Go virtual with DimDim! Free,
easy to use, and simple to get started, this open-source online meeting
software can help you maintain your library's training and meeting needs.
We'll talk about the opportunities this software offers as well as give you
pertinent, hands-on usage skills that you can take back with you to your
library!
