The ICfL is making virtual conferencing equipment (webcams and/or headsets) available to Idaho library community members. These virtual conference kits are available on a first-come, first-served basis to applicants who can show a need for them.
The goal of making virtual conference kits available to our customers is to increase the equitable participation of Idaho library community members in ICfL sponsored continuing education activities, trainings, or other virtual learning and collaboration opportunities.
In this application we will ask you to certify two things:
- that you have a specific need to use the equipment
- that you have a need for the equipment itself
If approved, the equipment will be mailed to the applicant’s library. The applicant must complete an evaluation after they receive and use the equipment. After the needed event, the library can use the equipment to attend other ICfL events or professional development activities. Both the headset and webcam use a USB-A port.
These kits are only available to staff working in publicly-funded libraries located in Idaho. This includes public libraries, school libraries, academic libraries and special libraries if a substantial portion of their funding comes from public taxes.
