Learning @ your Library
The new schedule for the library’s computer and Internet classes is available. The Library regularly offers classes on searching on the WWW, shopping on the WWW, opening up an email account, using Google effectively, and using the library catalog and website. This new batch of classes includes a library tour, called “Library 101,” which will introduce people to the library building and the website/catalog. Also added is an “Internet Open Lab,” which basically offers people a chance to ask questions and get more practice with topics covered in our other classes.
I’ve been lucky enough to be involved with teaching some of these classes and I really think they are great. Hopefully, we’ll continue to add new classes that people are interested in taking. At some point, I’d like to teach classes on topics like starting a personal blog, using digital cameras, and using websites like Flickr, Delicious, and Library Thing. If you have any ideas for new internet/www/technology related classes you’d like to see offered at the library, let me know. I’d love to hear your suggestions!
Btw, for those of you who don’t know, the City of T.O. has a city calendar on the city’s website. It’s a great place to look if you want to find out what’s happening around T.O. The library’s programs and events are posted here as well.
