Well, here I am posting late yet, again! The life of a busy mom never does run smooth. Oh well, this one will be short today.
With the current condition of the economy, many people come to the library for aid in job hunting. Quite a few of them use the public computers to create resumes. This often presents them with a problem: the main computers do not allow patrons to use a CD or a flashdrive in order to save their work. Patrons come in, struggle to write their resumes, then print off the physical copies they will take with them. Worse, when bad luck strikes in the form of a timed-out session or a power-failure, all of their work is lost.
I see great need to teach cloud computing. I logged on to my Google account and looked up resume templates. There's quite a lot of them. I believe the library does teach a resume writing class once a month. I plan on talking to Melissa about adding a quick lesson in using Google Docs to write, save and store them. No equipment needed, they can be accessed from any computer and the patrons can simply email them to employers. Definitely worth looking into.
Until next time, library lovers!
