Illinois librarians, if you plan to request CPDUs for this session, please use your real name as you log in. We will have time at the end for questions. These will be taken in either chat form or sometimes in voice, so get your headphone & microphone set handy, if you think you may want to use voice. If you need to leave the room at any time - feel free to use the door at the bottom of the screen to step away - but please, when you leave the webinar tonight be sure to close all windows & exit immediately. In order to archive this webinar for later use we have to clear the room right away. You can private message your friends during the webinar, but be aware that moderators can see what you write. We will be keeping a chat log of all the public chats and posting it on the wiki along with the archive in a few days. While we are waiting, please take a moment to tweet a reminder about tonight's event to your followers using the "islma" hashtag. Thank you for coming and in a few minutes we shall begin!"
