[LM_NET] Library of Congress Online Program: TOMORROW 4/18: Declaring Independence: Beyond the Fourth of July

[Laura Gottesman <lgot@LOC.GOV>]

Posted on behalf of colleagues:

July 18, 2:00 - 3:00 p.m (EDT). - Declaring Independence: Beyond the Fourth of July

Everybody knows we celebrate the 4th of July because that's the day we declared 
independence. But there's more to the Declaration of Independence story than just 
one day or even just one document. Library of Congress librarians will show the 
Declaration of Independence as it evolved from an idea to an event, looking at a 
variety of drafts and editions of Declaration and related documents. 

When: Wednesday, July 18, 2:00 p.m. (E.D.T.), 1:00 p.m. CST

NOTE:  Allow yourself time to download the small software plugin needed to 
participate in the conference.  Depending on your network security requirements, 
you may need assistance from your local technical support group to download and 
install the plugin.  Actual installation should be very quick, depending on your 
computer and connectivity.

To attend:
1. Go to http://67.19.90.10/masteradmin/room.asp?id=rs1641902f62b4 
2. Click the "Download Here" button in the light blue rectangle in the center of 
the screen.
3. Follow the directions to download and install the plugin.
4. Click the link in the orange rectangle to enter the room.
5. A gray box will appear with text asking permission to launch an external 
application, webconference plugin.  When the grayed out text "Launch application" 
becomes black, click the Launch application button.

"Log on" to enter the online conference.
