Task # 9 Universal Class

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!

Task #8 Espanol Libguide

I was a little dissapointed in my score of 60%, but since I didn't attend the meeting on Spanish Libguide, I guess I can live with it.  I did however, go back and check the answers that I had wrong and was able to find the correct answers to each.  I found this site very interesting and I can see how it would be very, very helpful to our ever increasing Latino population here in GJ. Also, it was very easy to convert it from English to Spanish and vice versa
