Do you know about OPAL?
From their website:
"OPAL is an international collaborative effort by libraries and other organizations of all types to provide web-based programs and training for library users and library staff members.
These live events are held in online rooms where participants can interact via voice-over-IP, text chatting, synchronized browsing, and more.
Everyone is welcome to participate in OPAL programs. Usually there is no need to register. Nearly all OPAL programs are offered free of charge.
Examples of OPAL public online programs include book discussion programs, interviews, special events, library training, memoir writing workshops, and virtual tours of special digital library collections."
Even better, and more relevant for the purposes of this blog, the Government Printing Office has its own training and programs available through OPAL. These programs address topics like the Federal Depository Library Program, how to use and effective search the GPO's websites, presentations on preserving materials, geology librarianship, GIS maps and more.
