You are having a virtual meeting with a colleague at a nearby branch; discussing a potential collaborative program between the two branches.
The benefits for an online meeting include reducing travel times, and allowing more productive hours per person. Challenges would include technical issues, both in setup and in meeting quality. I’ve been in some Skype meetings where time was lost in the setup, where persons had to repeat themselves because of low quality signal, and where meetings were cut off because of technical issues. In these cases, meeting quality dropped for the sake of saving time.
Situation 2
You are conducting a virtual reference interview with a patron; this is your first time meeting this patron, so you have no background information about their interests or likes.
Unlike Amazon ads, I do not see the virtual reference interview being in the near future in my job description and with the patrons questions I field. The amount of limitations, both legal and technical, that we have on phone reference make me think this will not happen in the next year.
I am not opposed to the idea, and I would gladly brainstorm if I could be of help.
