Webinar Instructions

To Register for a Webinar

Access the forms either from an e-mail message or from the Training Department page. The forms from the training department are located at http://www.library.nd.gov/training.html under the Webinars tab.
Once the form is entered into the web-conferencing software, a message will be generated and sent to all participants.
If a new participant is added to the webinar, a new e-mail will be generated to all participants. This is unavoidable. If you want, you can simply delete the old message.

An e-mail will be sent with a link to join the webinar. To access the webinar, click on the link “Join Conference.”
You can also join the webinar for the Training page by clicking on the link “Accessing the Webinar Website.” On the Webinar page, there is a list of sessions being offered. Find the session you want to attend and click on “Join Conference.”
You do not need a user name or password to access the webinars. If you are trying to join the conference and you come to a sign in screen that asks for a user name and password, you are trying to access the conference too early. The sign in screen is for the host to log in and get the instructor console set up.
Please access the webinar a few minutes before it starts. That way if you have any problems, you can contact us for assistance.

Here are some instructions and tips for participating in the North Dakota State Library webinars.

For these webinars, we'll be using a teleconference for the audio portion and Team2Team Web-conferencing software for the web based instructional portion. You'll need a telephone and computer to participate in the webinars. We will provide a 1-800 number for you to use for the teleconference.
Turn off your pop up blockers to allow the webinar software to load.
Set your screen resolution to 1024 x 768 for optimum viewing.
If you are a first time user, you may have to run Oracle Web Conferencing Console Set-up. Please follow along with the set up instructions if the pop up box appears.
In the e-mail invitation that is sent out when you are registered, the following message appears at the bottom, “To check that your system is ready for web conferencing, click New User and then Test.” Some people have experienced difficulties when conducting the system check. It seems to not be connecting the audio portion for the webinar software. This isn’t an issue since we're using a teleconference call rather than a Voice Over IP (VOIP) connection. If you receive a failure notice, try to get access to the webinar anyways. Most of the errors that people receive only will affect the webinar if we're using VOIP (Voice Over IP). Since we use a teleconference for the audio portion, you shouldn't have a problem.
If you have any questions about accessing the webinar prior to the start of the session, please contact Al at 701-328-3495.

A toll free telephone number is available for use during the webinar. Dial 1-888-296-6500 to access the teleconference. The access code is 180686.
You may find it easier to use a headset or a speakerphone for the webinar.
To mute and un-mute your telephone, press *6. If you are using a speakerphone and there is a lot of background noise, please mute your telephone and un-mute it when you need to ask a question.

To exit the webinar, simply hang up the telephone and close out of the browser window.
