Rock Island Public Library

E-mail, World Wide Web, browsers, icons, mouse, double-clicking — the terms themselves can be confusing. What do they all mean? How does it all work? What is the Internet and how can I make it work for me? How can I create a resume?

The Rock Island Public Library can help you with questions such as these. Our knowledgeable and experienced staff can give you one-on-one instruction to help you unlock the secrets of the Internet. The Main Library is now offering regularly scheduled training sessions in the new Computer Lab. One-hour Basic Internet Workshops are offered every Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. One-hour Resume Workshops are offered every Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. - 12 noon. To participate, patrons should go to the Main Library Reference Desk and tell the librarian that you are waiting for your chosen workshop. The Internet Workshops are free and offered on a walk-in basis. Reservations or advance sign-ups are not required.

The Basic Internet overview will discuss search engines and search techniques, setting up free e-mail accounts and attaching graphics, how to download a graphic to your computer, and other basic methods of getting around on the World Wide Web.

The Resume Workshop will offer help creating a resume using the resume wizard in Microsoft Word™.
