Law Library Video Conferencing

 

Schulich Video Conference Room

 

Uses: Videoconferencing allows two or more individuals or groups at different locations to see and hear each other at the same time. Computer presentations, if used, are also broadcast to all locations.
   
  Examples of a live session include:
 
  • PhD review/denfence with adjudicator elsewhere.
  • With a research colleague at another location.
  • In a video workshop.
  • Interview of potential candidate for study or employment.
   
Product: Lifesize Team 220
Requirements: A compatible facility at the other end of the video conference.
Campus Location: Room L115, Law Library.  Key available at the information Desk.
Room Capacity: Up to 8 Participants 
Layout: V-Shaped conference table facing two side-by-side 55" flat screen monitors.
Attire: To ensure that you can be seen clearly by those at the other end of the conference, we recommend that you wear darker colours. Clothing with patterns or stripes can cause image shimmer and a general degradation of the overall broadcast picture. 
Reservations: Contact the Library IT Department at 902-494-2125.
Pre-Event Testing: A 1/2 hour test session 2–3 days prior to the event is required to ensure system compatibility.

  • A cancellation fee may be charged for appointments not cancelled.
Please Note:

It is Law Library policy that food is not allowed in the conference room and all drinks must be in travel mugs.

At least 48 hours notice is required to book a video conference. Compatibility testing will be performed before a conference is scheduled to certify external sites and to ensure system compatibility.
