[Publib] re: Computer Training

[Suzanne Colligan]

Greetings,
I did receive one response with info and another with a request to 
provide compiled info. I am new to organized computer training in a 
public library setting. My employer's has been dormant due to  budget 
and subsequent staff reductions from a crisis dating a few years ago. 
We're resurrecting what we used to do on a regular basis. Anyway, 
here's what I received:

Webjunction (Surprise!)
Yes, the server that provides this List has a number of useful 
resources. The link below specifically addresses patron training:

I feel that my searches through library literature databases weren't 
well constructed or there isn't a lot written about the various 
"how-to" aspects of computer training in a library setting. My 
interests run the gamut from best practices in training to 
demonstrating the ROI (return on investment) of public and staff 
computer training. If anyone has any further recommendations (print 
or Web), please float them my way. I'll continue on my search and 
perhaps periodically update the List.
Thanks,
Suzanne
