[Publib] Computer instruction/classes

[Mary Soucie]

Alison,
We do offer classes. We offer basic, Word, E-mail, Internet searching and Mary Ellen's computer class. We hire someone to teach the classes. Mary Ellen's computer class is taught by a retired school teacher. She gears the class towards what the students want to learn. We have a limit of 7 students and we still fill most of the time. The other gal that teaches for us is a retired school librarian and so she's pretty comfortable adjusting as needed also. 

Mary

Subject: [Publib] Computer instruction/classes

We are evaluating our computer class offerings at this library, and would like to consider some other libraries' practices.

Does your library offer computer instruction to customers?  If so, classes, or one-on-one?  Internet and or word processing?  If you have a procedural document you could share, that would be very helpful.

Or, does your library simply provide access to computers.  If so, do you have an instruction source to which you can refer patrons without computer skills?

Any observations in general on the subject would also be welcome.

Thanks!
