Once completed, they may volunteer at any of the library's branches. Seniors were paired with 6th, 7th and 8th graders for one or more Internet orientation sessions. The seniors chose topics in which they were interested and the students showed the seniors how to navigate the Internet. The Houston Public Library offers free lunchtime Internet Basics training programs to help beginning Internet users learn to navigate the World Wide Web. Topics covered included Internet terminology, connecting from library terminals, exploring the library's home page and doing searches.
Classes are approximately a half hour and users are invited to bring their lunch to class.
The library also offers Business Resources on the Internet, Internet as an Office Tool, and Job Searching on the Internet among its other classes offered throughout the week. Sessions were offered by the Detroit Community AIDS Library, a partnership project of local libraries and community organizations. Sessions covered statistics, news, support groups, services, and local and regional resources on prevention and treatment. The Calgary Public Library mounted its traditional summer reading program on the Web with built-in interactivity. Puzzles, games and jokes were posted online along with the content of the game.
