FREE Workshop via teleconference on January 23rd -- A Technology Toolkit: Survival Basics for Everyone Although this presentation is geared toward paraprofessional library staff, anyone who needs help with technology basics should attend this teleconference! Most of the DuPage teleconferences are very well received by those who attend -- and we feel that attendance at the teleconferences would be even higher if only Texas library staff knew what they were missing. The last DuPage teleconference on "Good Manager and Good Employee Skills" was a big success. Some of the comments from the program evaluations were: "Very appropriate for our institution. I wish more staff had attended." "Practical and entertaining." "Lively presentation. Good examples." "Very appropriate and timely information for a library, loved the presenter." "Very relevant and timely. Gave me a new perspective on problems I have been having." As part of the 2003-04 season of the College of DuPage teleconferences, the Texas State Library reminds Texas library staff of the opportunity to participate in "A Technology Toolkit: Survival Basics for Everyone". This program will be broadcast as part of the College of DuPage's 2003-04 "Soaring to Excellence" series from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Central time on Friday, January 23rd, 2004. All Texas library staff are invited to view this program at participating host sites in Texas. More details follow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- College of DuPage Teleconference January 23rd, 2004, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Central Time Sponsored by the Library Development Division of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission OVERVIEW: This teleconference will offer up-to-the-minute information on computer and Internet skills that every library assistant needs.
