Are your library staff confident in Cyberspace? If not, we can help!
Islington CyberSkills are a library based computer training centre in
Islington,London, that provides "hands-on" training for local people and
businesses. Opened in May 1999, we have trained over 550 people to surf the
internet with confidence, at bargain prices. And we're offering workshops to
libraries at a discounted rate! Prices start at just 35.00 per person, with
group booking discounts for groups of ten or more.
CyberSkills is staffed by professional librarians, with extensive training
experience. We've had years of experience in libraries ourselves, and so we
use our experience to guide yours! We offer services that are particularly
taliored to suit libraries and their staff in a number of ways. Here are a
few of the library related projects we've run over the last year:
a.. Internet training for library staff: especially tailored workshops
to highlight some of the benefits and disadvantages of the Internet,
including advanced search skills and browser knowledge. Let us help you find
those elusive web sites!
b.. Introduction to e-mail and CD-ROM
c.. Windows and the Internet for library staff
d.. Internet workshops for children in libraries : including how to surf
safely and verifying information on the internet
e.. Library training sessions for the public. From novice to
intermediate
All workshops are kept small, informal and "hands-on". No lecturing with us:
you really get to try things yourself! We positively encourage questions,
and keep our workshops resolutely jargon-free, so you can be sure you'll
leave actually understanding what you've done. We've also tailored workshops
to fit group requirements, so if your team has a particular blind spot, let
us know!
Workshops run on a rolling basis throughout the year, with at least three
workshops every week. Please contact CyberSkills at the address below. Visit

can offer. Follow "links" to get details of our library specific work.
