Earlier this year, ITS introduced you to Microsoft Lync Beta as a new WCMC solution for communicating with your colleagues at WCMC and NYP. Lync allows you to communicate with others at WCMC/NYP via chat sessions, conference bridges, or through online phone calls similar to Skype. You can even use your mobile device to send messages, make calls, and share documents via Wi-Fi.
Starting Friday, August 8, ITS will be hosting short demos in the Library Collaboration Room with quick tips on how to use and download Lync. Stop by any time during the time slots below, grab a snack, and learn more about this free service available to all WCMC faculty, staff, and students!
