Online FDLP training is available for Federal Depository Library participants via OPAL (Online Programming for All Libraries), an interactive Web-based meeting and conferencing service.
Presenters include GPO staff and members of the depository library community. Topics may include FDLP products and services and all aspects of depository library operations and management.
GPO's OPAL implementation provides the FDLP community the means to conduct interactive meetings or presentations online in real-time through voice chat, text chat, slideshows, and synchronized Web browsing.
Please note that Web browsing sessions are limited to publicly accessible (non-password protected content) only. Sessions may be live or pre-recorded.
All OPAL users (whether presenter or participant) will need the following:
- Internet Connectivity (preferably Internet Explorer)
- OPAL plug-in (Available from the GPO Opal Room)
- Speakers or headphones
- Username (Passwords are not required for GPO sessions.)
- Microphone (optional) - Only required for presenters or participants that choose to interact using voice chat, when enabled.
Unless otherwise stated, space is limited to the first 100 participants on a first come basis.Most OPAL sessions are archived to allow those unable to attend a live event to replay the recording at their convenience.
Help GPO improve and expand its online training by suggesting future sessions and leaving specific feedback on what was useful and what can be improved.
