Nebraska Library Commission Online Sessions
The Nebraska Library Commission uses the GoToWebinar online meeting
service to present online sessions. GoToWebinar sessions are live
presentations that you access from your own computer via the Web. Audio is provided via Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) using a
microphone. This means access to a telephone is not required.
You do not need to pre-install GoToWebinar onto your computer before
attending a session. For Windows and Mac users, when you join a session the GoToWebinar
desktop
application automatically begins downloading as part of the login process.
This only takes about a minute.
Attendees running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) will use the
Web Viewer. Attendees running Linux or Google Chrome OS will join via
the
Instant Join app. Mobile apps are available for both
Android and
iOS.
You can
test your internet connection and audio before joining a session.
GoToWebinar login instructions are sent to registered
attendees after registration for a session has closed. The Registration End
date is listed on each session page.
In order to hear the presentation, attendees must be using a
computer with a sound card and speakers. To ask questions and
participate in Audio discussion, attendees will also need a microphone. A
Question and Answer feature, where you can type in your questions/comments,
is also part of the GoToWebinar interface, so you can ask questions if you
do not have a microphone. Nebraska libraries: If you don't have
a microphone for your computer you may request one from the Nebraska Library
Commission, at no cost to you, by contacting
Christa Burns at least a week in
advance of your session.
Sessions may be recorded for anyone who may want to see
them again or who cannot attend at the scheduled time. Registration for a
live session is not required to view the archived recording.

recorded online sessions.
GoToWebinar System Requirements: Before you attend a
session, review the
GoToWebinar system requirements. Please do this several days in
advance of your scheduled session so you have plenty of time to update your
system if necessary. GoToWebinar works on Windows, Mac, Google Chrome OS,
Linux, iOS and Android
devices.
Firewalls: Some users with software firewalls will need
to give permission to the GoToWebinar program to operate. For more

Additional attendees: If several staff members from the
same library want to attend the same online session, please consider
registering for one seat and having staff members view/listen together via
one workstation. List Additional Attendees on the one registration that is
submitted for your library.
