<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>The term cloud computing is
being used more and more, but what is it and why should you make an
effort to understand it? In this free webinar we will explain what cloud
computing means, define the different types, discuss how it is impacting
nonprofits and libraries, and outline some criteria for use. We'll
discuss the challenges of using the “cloud," and if cloud
computing can simplify your life and reduce software and IT staffing
costs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Hear from Anna Jaeger, co-director, GreenTech at TechSoup Global, and
Peter Campbell, nonprofit technologist at Earthjustice, who will help you
understand this topic in order to better communicate with your
consultants, staff, and board. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>This webinar will cover
specific open source tools (some of which you may not have heard of
before!) that work well for libraries and the benefits and challenges
associated with their use. Meadville Public Library uses open source
software on 90% of their public access computers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>Cindy Murdock Ames, IT
services director and Kyle Hall, the library's on-staff developer,
will share recommendations for libraries considering open source software
and how to get started successfully. Cindy has been using open source
software for over 10 years, which has allowed the library to save
licensing costs and have more control over its computing environment. The
library uses open source tools for their websites, e-mail, Internet
firewall, wireless router, proxying, filtering, and productivity
software, and thin clients for Internet access and to run Koha for the
circulation and public catalogs.<o:p></o:p></p>

11:00 a.m. Pacific (Noon Mountain / 1pm Central / 2pm Eastern)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>When you have computers connected to the Internet or to any external
device, you need to take precautions. Security threats can not only
cause harm to your computers but could damage files on your network or
put sensitive data at risk. This free webinar will help you understand
what the threats are and how your computers can get infected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Kami Griffiths from TechSoup will interview Marian Merritt, an
Internet safety advocate from Symantec Corporation, who will explain what
employees should know about this topic and which
specific activities can be problematic. This webinar is ideal for
anyone who seeks a basic understanding of security threats or needs a
refresher course.<o:p></o:p></p>

<h3><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Connecting BTOP Grantees
to Resources<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p>At TechSoup we amass stories and experiences from libraries and
nonprofits and share them in meaningful ways. Whether in a webinar, an
article, or through links to good resources, we're a conduit to what
we're hearing in the field.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>One of the projects we're working on currently is an effort -- funded
by the <a href="http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=s8G4gB-I218jkZzdaUO4fg.."
target="_blank">Surdna Foundation</a> -- to gather resources to help
organizations that received <a
href="http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=llteX2T9KaSoT1mQ_b8C1Q.."
target="_blank">BTOP</a> funding. Like the work we did on the MaintainIT
Project to create technology <a
href="http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=bXgjXWMWHvsne8DsL4C3ug.."
target="_blank">Cookbooks</a>, this project is both a fact-finding
mission and a sharing endeavor. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We're talking to folks who received BTOP funding and who are in the
process of implementing their projects. Over time, we'll blog about what
we're hearing, and it's our hope that if you're working on a project to
improve broadband access or adoption--BTOP-funded or not--you'll weigh in
and tell us your story. The more information we can gather about project
