Wow!!!!! What a wonderful new resource! I did option B, but I did register in case I wanted to take a class later. I can see thousands of applications where this site could be invaluable for our patrons. For example: Maybe you have trouble writing letters with the proper grammar - take the grammar class. You want to do your own taxes or design your own budget - take an accounting class. Want to brush up on your medical skills - take the medical course. The list goes on and on.
I think that we should have a staff meeting to go over how the site works and discuss other possible uses, since I feel that it will become very popular.
I think that when a patron goes to our home page, there should be a scrolling pop up like the ones we currently have such as: Get the Library App, Consumer Reports, etc. It could say something like: New at all Mesa County Libraries: Over 500 online courses to sharpen your skills. Or something to that effect. Anyway, its a great new site. And what a coincidence. As I am sitting here at the computer lab desk, I just had a patron want to sign up for one of the classes!
I'm stealing this idea for the new website :)
