Producing such a citizenry will requi re that schools and colleges appreciate and integrate the concept of information literacy into their learning programs.

Welcome to The Electronic Library
Designed for the novice computer user, this workshop will familiarize participants with information resources on the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web FAQ and FYI on What is the Internet? provide basic information a beginner may find useful. The World Wide Web browser used during the workshop will be Netscape.
Learning the Internet without any assistance can be a difficult and somewhat frustrating experience. The Internet is in a constant state of change and there are so many options, commands, exceptions and concepts that it can all be very overwhelming. Many people take a "when I need it, then I learn it" approach to developing Internet skills and learning about electronic resources. This approach is very effective since th e learner immediately applies the newly gained knowedge in a specific context, thereby practicing and internalizing it; however, it is also very time-consuming and often frustrating. The Electronic Library will attempt to meet individual's interests by pr esenting general information search strategies which can be used to find information on topics of individual interest.
To be an effective and efficient user of the Internet, a person needs expertise in three main areas:
Two lists of links to resources have been created for the workshop.
The first is a list of sites to explore if you just want to see a smattering of what is available.
The second is a starter list of resources to use if you are searching for information on a particular topic. This document is intended to provide supplemental instructional support for participants in The Electronic Library workshop and is thus not a complete introduction to the Internet and its tools. While anyone is welcome to use this
This document is a resource, please be aware of its intended scope and purpose.
