<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://nlc.nebraska.gov/scripts/calendar/eventlist.asp?Mode=ALL">Taking Time to Teach Technology to Technophobes (Nebraska Library Commission)</a><br>
L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has adopted a program called "Tech Tuesdays" that allows staff to spend more time with patron’s technology questions. We offer informal walk-in hours to answer patron’s questions about their personal
devices, such as e-readers, tablets, laptops and smartphones. Topics include how to load e-books, apps and music onto devices and basic computer and internet search skills. This session will address branding, marketing, promotion of the program and service
models seen at other public libraries such as workshops, appointments and working with partners to provide technology instruction outside of the library. We will also share our challenges, successes and the immediate response we've received from our patrons.<o:p></o:p></p>
