Federation with Public IM Providers Now Available!    We are excited to announce that as of Friday, November 20, 2009, all University of Kentucky OCS enabled users have the ability to collaborate with friends and colleagues on MSN/Hotmail, AOL/AIM and GMail/GoogleTalk Instant Messaging (IM) networks!    All that is required is to know the email address of your contact in one of these three networks to add them to your Office Communicator contact list.  Please look for an upcoming OCS Instructional Video that will show you how to add public IM contacts to your contact list.  You can also check out the How to Collaborate with Federation Partners document as the process of adding contacts is exactly the same.   NOTE:  Due to current licensing restrictions, we can not extend this to Yahoo! messenger.
