Computer Workshops
The Computer Lab regularly offers three workshops to the public: Beginning Internet is offered every month while Intermediate Internet and Word Processing are offered on an alternating bi-monthly basis (i.e. whichever of the two is not offered one month will be held the following).
Get INSPIRED! Workshops
These hands-on classes will introduce you to an overview of the basic features of INSPIRE, The Indiana Virtual Library. It is available FREE at home, at school, at the office, or in the Library. Learn how to access the INSPIRE authoritative databases, interfaces, links and more. We offer this workshop for adults and students (Grades 9 & up) and also for teachers and home school educators.
"Four Star" Workshops for Seniors
Twice a year we schedule a workshop specifically for those Senior Citizens who are anxious to learn about computers. Seniors are, of course, welcome to take any of our other workshops as well.
This workshop covers computer basics, word processing, the Internet, and the Library Online Public Access Computers. It meets on four consecutive weeks.
