Dear List subscribers
Want to attend information technology workshops without ever leaving your library or office? Plan on attending an online workshop that is part of the Nylink Institute of Information technology Fluency, a project that was funded originally by an IMLS grant.
Online workshops, lead by experienced Nylink trainers, eliminate the need for you to travel and spend time out of the library. You can take them at your own pace within the period each is offered, which is 4 weeks.
These workshops are geared towards participants who want a workshop that focuses on providing introductory knowledge, skills and concepts of a topic. Each workshop includes weekly readings, exercises and assignments, and opportunity for asynchronous discussion with the instructor and other participants.
Upcoming online workshops offered by Nylink <http://nylink.suny.edu/> are available as follows:

The class addresses topics such as patron privacy, filtering, computer security, intellectual property, digital divide, electronic publishing, spyware and others.
