You can register for the series after it starts and have full access  
to all the previous session recordings after the live presentations.   
You receive the codes to access the sessions and recordings, good for  
up to a year after the sessions.

We charge in order to offset expenses for the webinar system. Single  
"seat" registrations can be used for a whole library, as long as you  
view the session together using one web connection and one phone  
connection.  This is a way of allowing us to provide webinars to more  
people using less webinar resources.  If you want to project it and  
use a speaker phone we think that's a good idea and the shared  
experience with your colleagues will only make the webinars better.

Each one hour Webinar will present about 45 minutes of content  
including live web demonstrations, leaving time in the hour for  
questions and discussions. Participants use an internet enabled  
computer to view the content and a phone line to hear and talk. Long  
distance is via an "800" number. Speaker phones with mute buttons are  
a good thing for groups.
