I would be really interested in this too. We are beginning to deliver more stuff abroad and remotely and are looking at blackboard collaborate for inductions and info teaching.
The relevant dept already use it for teaching on one distance course.
Kind regards

Subject: using screen sharing software to help with subject enquiries
Dear all
Do any subject librarians make use of screen sharing software to help demonstrate databases, ejournals etc, when answering distance enquiries about information skills and running online clinics?
Some of us here at Birmingham have been experimenting with join.me which seems to be working well, subject to getting hold of the right telephone headsets, but we would like to know what other alternatives are worth investigating and what are their pros and cons .
If you have any experience of JoinMe or similar software I would like to hear from you. I'll summarise responses.
Thanks
Best wishes
David
