Illinois State Library Director Anne Craig is pleased to announce that Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Web-conferencing rooms for each regional library system, the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) and the State Library will be the successor for WebJunction Illinois’ Wimba Web-conferencing access.

Thanks to Kevin Becker of Lewis and Clark Library System, who worked with the systems, the State Library, CARLI and other interested individuals to select a Wimba successor. Each room allows up to 100 participants, voip, screensharing, remote control, archiving, breakout rooms, e-learning, and filesharing, to name a few features. A complete list of features is available on Adobe’s site. Find minimum requirements for computer access for participants/audience and presenters.
