Video Teleconferencing room available at the Research Library

Video teleconferencing (VTC) is now available at the Research Library. The Library has been working with a team of employees from ten other Lab organizations on a pilot program that will give Lab employees the chance to learn how VTC and collaborative software work and to use them to increase productivity and save on travel.

The new VTC room also offers connections to the Access Grid, and can be used for training sessions, Web meetings (including file sharing), local presentations and viewing of LABNET presentations.
