Class Descriptions:
Basic Computer Skills
Does it seem like absolutely everybody but you is using a computer? Do you know a little about computers but have never used one? Or have you tried to use a computer but just got frustrated? Then the Basic Computer Skills class is for you. You will learn the handful of basic mouse and typing skills that are needed to use simple computer programs and perform tasks online. The class will be as much fun as it is informative.
Introduction to the Internet
Your first visit to the Internet is almost guaranteed to be confusing without some basic information. This introductory class will teach you essential Internet skills and provide you with enough knowledge to avoid some of the all-too-common Internet pitfalls. Walk in a novice; walk out a “Googler.”
Intermediate Internet Searching
Now that you know your way around the Net, it’s time to expand your searching know-how. We’ll show you some tips and tricks for smarter searching and a few useful web sites you may not know about.
Open Lab
Open Lab is an opportunity to work with a library staff member on a computer or Internet related task. Open Lab is not a class. It is a chance to get some extra help in an informal setting. No registration is required. Just drop in.
