Hello!
My name is Rick Gates.
I've just created a library training Web site that I plan on releasing free
to all libraries. The goal of this site is to provide Internet
pre-training... that is, a sound understanding of basic computing concepts.
Those who work through the site will gain the computing skills necessary
to be able to learn other applications, particularly the Internet.
The core of the site is an interactive course, complete with exercises,
quizzes, and exams. It is designed for the novice.
Because my goal is to provide a useful site for libraries, I'm putting out
a call for beta-testers from the library community.
If you're interested in trying out my site ahead of time, I'd love to have
your feedback. You can simply review the site quickly and give me your
general impression, or spend more time in depth on any portion of the course.
Please send me an email message if you're interested in beta-testing. You
can send your email to:
rgates@nassets.com
(This message is not Spam in disguise... I won't use your name at any time,
and you'll never receive any solicitation as a result of this beta-test.)
Thanks for your consideration. I hope that libraries will find the site
useful for their training needs.
Sincerely,
Rick Gates
