OPAL is sponsored by the Illinois Network of Libraries Serving the Blind and Physically Handicapped. Participating OPAL libraries develop and deliver online programs, events, and meetings using software from Talking Communities (http://www.talkingcommunities.com). By collaborating within OPAL, libraries are able to develop online programs together and offer a rich array of public online programs for all library users. The software allows people to meet in an online meeting room using Voice over IP (VoIP)and text chat, and they can share and discuss web pages, presentations, and other digital content. OPAL allows library patrons and library staff members to participate in online library programs from anywhere. Everyone is welcome to participate in OPAL programs, and libraries of all types are encouraged to become OPAL members. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
