Judging from the feedback gathered at Fall Assembly, the Final Friday Web Site Work Days are a success!  We will continue them in 2009 and open up the lab for an additional monthly Technology Work Day.  Mark you calendar for the Premier on Tuesday, January 13 from 1 to 4 p.m. featuring basic Microsoft Excel.  Here’s the catch – we will let WebJunction do the training and Tech Support staff will be available to answer any Excel-related questions you bring.  Need to troubleshoot a formula on a spreadsheet you inherited?  Want help automating your monthly statistics?  Have a spreadsheet that you feel is worth sharing?  Bring it.

The plan is to use this format–opening up the lab for self-paced online training with WebJunction supplemented by Tech Support staff–to cover Office 2007, Word, Publisher and whatever else YOU tell us to cover.  We also want to take the Technology Work Days out to our member libraries (once we find a few folks willing to host us).  Our hope is to expose everyone to WebJunction and support your technology training needs by providing the time and place to explore what’s out there in a fun and informal way.

We also invite you and your staff to escape the library and come to the NEKLS computer lab for self-paced WebJunction training whenever you feel the need.  Give us a call to see if it’s available (which is 99% of the time) and be sure to grab a CE form to record the time you spend learning in the lab.  We can’t guarantee that a Tech Support staff member will be available for question-answering, but if we are here, we’ll help.  The hope is to make WebJunction a habit!
