Books for Beginners @ Your

INTERNET ESSENTIALS:
Ask a Librarian!
It seems that everyone is going
online these days – for e-mail, sharing photos, shopping, researching,
getting news, even for socializing. If you would you like to explore
the Internet but you’re not quite sure how to get started, if you are
frustrated with trying to search, or especially if you are worried
about online safety issues... ask a librarian! A
library staff member is
available - by appointment - to assist you with many simple
questions, and even offer individual tutoring on a wide variety of
topics, by appointment.
