MP3 vs. MP4's

MP3 files are "industry" standard for music, some audio books, etc. MP4's are Apple's iTune proprietary audio format, and they are encrypted where you cannot play them on non iPod MP3 players.

There are ways. Check the web if you want to know how. As far as we know, it is legal to convert an mp4 to an mp3 file; however, we won't post how here just in case.

Webinar Pilot - Webex

MLC is in the process of a one year pilot with Webex for web conferencing and video "training". MLC Network Services has completed configuration and testing, including testing with five early adopter pilot library sites across multiple networks.

Webex will be demo'd at the May 22 meeting with public library directors in Jackson.

Around June 1, 2008 MLC will begin using and offering the webex services out to libraries with limited functionality and MLC hosting all conference and video calls, and webinars.
