Spring Tech Ed Wrap-Up
Our Spring 2007 Adult Technology Education Series ended last week with our first-ever class on Online Music. Among the other topics new this spring were Flickr for Families, Microsoft Outlook, and Retouching Old Photographs. This year, we offered over 20 hours of instruction on web site design and on digital photography, respectively. Our instructors, Diane, Virginia, George, and Cyrus, join me in thanking all of you who participated and invite you to join us again in September when we launch our fall series.
Here are some new topics we're considering for the fall:
- Web Design Using Dreamweaver 8
- What's New in Office 2007
- Intro to Photoshop Elements 5
- Welcome to Vista
If you have an idea or a suggestion for a class, don't hesitate to send it in.
Have a great summer!

Postcard From San Jose
Greetings, everyone! Last Sunday, I flew out to San Jose, California, for the 15th Annual Innovative Users Group Conference. Innovative Interfaces is the company that provides the software used by the Darien Library to order, process, and circulate all its materials, from books to DVDs. Once a year, members of the Innovative Users Group, made up of librarians and library techs from all over the United States and from around the world, meet to share information and experiences with the software. San Jose is home to many hi-tech companies. Some, such as Adobe Systems, are located within walking distance of the convention center where the meeting was held. This year's conference had over 1800 attendees and attendees from 11 countries. I was part of a team of three representing our library. It's been a busy four days and I've learned a lot. Home today. See you soon! Judy
