Hands-on Technology Topics: Microsoft, Adobe, Social Networking

All programs in this track from Programs Plus are hands-on at PCs.

These hands-on programs need to be held in either a training lab or in an area that provides an instructor PC with projection and computers for participants located close enough to easily teach the group.

• Microsoft Applications: (Windows, Outlook/Email, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Access, Project) - Beginning through Advanced classes 3 hours or 5 hours
• Adobe: (Photoshop/Photoshop Elements, Acrobat) - Beginning through Advanced classes 3 hours or 5 hours
• Social Networking Applications – Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram and Vine:
  3 or 5 hours – length will determine which and how many applications will be covered.

  With social networking influencing and dominating many of our user’s everyday activities, libraries of all sizes need to understand and manage this phenomenon.

  This hands-on workshop will:

  • Introduce popular social networking applications
  • Demonstrate their use and management in library settings
  • Discuss ideas for engaging your audience and enhancing your online presence through compelling content which generates quality traffic

Note: These are NOT part of Emerging Technologies. They are separate programs. Instagram and Vine are mobile apps best used with handheld devices (Android & iOS).
