Has anyone taken the Linux course? What did you think about it?

Cassandra, Thanks for the tip. I plan to take that one as soon as the summer program &#045; and inventory<img alt='emoticon' src='http://il.webjunction.org/webjunction-theme/images/emoticons/happy.gif' /> &#045; is over. Leslie

Cassandra, that was the very first course I took when I was checking out the courses before the workshops. I liked all the graphics also. You gotta see it before you can get it!<br />Linda

Leslie, this is wonderful. I&#039;m going to check out the course myself. Maybe it will help us next year with the legislature!! I&#039;m glad you&#039;re taking advantage of WJ.<br />Linda

That&#039;s great! I love the WebJunction courses because they&#039;re quick and, as you said, at your own pace. They&#039;re full of great tidbits and exercises.<br /><br />Depending on how much computer maintenance and troubleshooting you do &#040;I&#039;m guessing quite a bit being a 2 person library in a small town&#041;, the WJ Troubleshooting Computer Problem&#039;s class is great. I loved the graphics and it helped me learn alot. <br /><br />~ Cassandra

I took my first WebJunction course! I spent about an hour and 15 minutes taking a free course entitled Media Relations. It dealt with many things that I learned at the annual conference of the Oklahoma Library Association from a noted marketing speaker including having a media plan and preparing for a media interview. Just as the blurbs to promote the course suggest, it taught that good media coverage can increase the sustainability of library programs. There were several instances where I had to analyze various press releases and try to determine how I could improve them and the course showed me how to better write a press release and I’ve already used what I learned. It was well worth the time invested. One plus was that I could work at my own pace because I had to stop several times to assist customers. I am in a small &#040;2 staff person&#041; rural library in southeast Oklahoma and we have no local newspaper so it&#039;s important to make every item that&#039;s placed in the newspaper in a larger town count. I look forward to taking more courses as soon as summer reading comes to a close. Thanks, WebJunction!
