VoIP And Regulation

VoIP And Regulation 01/27/2004 01:44 PM
Two different looks at what's happening in the VoIP world. An analyst at Frost & Sullivan says that, despite all the negative press paid to the Telecom Act of 1996, it's created the compe titive environment necessary to push widespread VoIP adoption. He also gives plenty of credit (as he should) to Vonage for proving the case for VoIP - though, he believes they're going to have a hard time beating the larger players. It's quite possible, though, that someone will buy them out. In another article, a lawyer hits back against the claims that VoIP shouldn't be regulated by point ing out that the internet has always been regulated. I think he's using an apples and oranges comparison though - comparing the internet today with the internet in the early days. Of course, that's not what people are talking about when they talk about how an unregulated internet became successful.

Click with Your Legislators!

Click with Your Legislators! 05/20/2004 05:22 PM

Barb Brattin, Reference Manager at the Warren Newport Public Library, came up with a great way to promote our statewide reference portal, Illinois Clicks!

"One of our top service responses at Warren Newport Public Library is information literacy, so offering a program on Illinois Clicks was a natural fit. As I was surfing through the site gathering examples of great links in every category, I thought of a little exercise to get some attention for Illinois Clicks via the program participants.

After a general overview of what Illinois Clicks is and how to navigate through the site, we visited two pre-selected links in each category. The last category we visited was Law and Government. By this time, the crowd was mesmerized by the amount and quality of information available through Illinois Clicks. So, opportunist that I am, I made good use of their enthusiasm by presenting each of them with an Illinois Clicks postcard (available through Fran, in case you haven't seen them). We then visited the Legislator Lookup link within the Law and Government site, and as they looked up their legislator's name and address, I asked them to use the postcard to tell their legislators what a fine project they have in Illinois Clicks and how they ought to continue funding the project. They were delighted to fill out the postcards and their messages were inspiring. I collected the postcards and sent them out this morning.

One of the participants then presented an idea which I think is particularly noteworthy. Why not place a link from every library's home page with messages of support for libraries already written out (like the Illinois Clicks postcard). Library supporters could simply send those messages on to their legislators electronically. People are very happy to express their support for the work we do to legislators. The link would make it easy.

Food for thought."

Food for thought for your own library, too!
