Thing 7

Email, IM, Texting are so much a part of everyday life that it has become a given. I use email all the time. We have 2 school libraries and email is a fast and easy way to stay in touch. Rather than use the phone, send a silent email with whatever info needs to be sent.
Being in a school library we really can't have the kids using email or IM since they would get nothing else done. But I could see using email to notifying that a requested book is in. Maybe texting? IM could be used to ask another library if they have a book a patron or student wants in their collection.
I actually use the Webinar for my home business to learn the new products. I also watched the Webinar that Oprah set up for her book club selection. Interesting. Webinar for a school book club would be a great idea. It would be an effective tool for low readers. Kids who want to be a part of a book club but can't make it for an afterschool program. A lot of possibilities.
Just have to give it some thought and more ideas will show up.
