All you need to participate is a phone near a computer with Internet access. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis. Participation is limited to 20 phone lines. So, if there is more than one interested participant from your library, we encourage you to use a speaker phone to participate together.  To register, please contact Martha Pearson at martha.pearson@umassmed.edu and let her know which session you want to attend.
