 This May, GPO will be starting a new, recurring OPAL (Online Programming for All Libraries and Library Users) session entitled, “Chat With GPO.” The first session will focus on an overview of authentication for FDLP partners, and participants will have the opportunity to chat with Ted Priebe, GPO’s Director of Library Planning & Development (LPD) and Lisa Russell, the Manager of LPD’s Content Management unit.
The authentication session will take place on Thursday, May 14th at 1:00 p.m EDT.
Each month that there is a “Chat With GPO” session, a different topic will be covered and facilitated by a different GPO representative.
The authentication session will be archived on the GPO OPAL site, so you will have convenient access at all times.
In order to participate in the live authentication session, please follow the instructions below. No prior RSVP is required for participation.
Connecting to the OPAL site:
- Go to the GPO OPAL room.
- Install the "Talkcom" plugin by clicking the "Download Here" button.

- You may use any name that you choose to log in to the conference room.
- No password is required for this session. However, for a meeting we suggest you use both your first and last name.
- The first time you enter the OPAL online room, a small software applet will automatically download onto your computer allowing you to enter the room. The applet enables your computer to participate in the discussion.
What do I need?
To participate in the event, you will need to be connected to the Internet, access an Internet browser, have speakers (turned on) to listen to the audio presentations, and a microphone connected to (or embedded) in your PC.
