Learning Library

 I reviewed the learning library for lesson two, and feel like I learned some valuable information. For the practice test, I looked at a reading comprehension test, figuring since I work in a library I better have good reading comprehension skills ( which I do). I took the test for awhile and figured I better get on with the lesson and stopped. I failed miserably. That's ok though, I learned how the actual process works.

I actually found the job search and workplace skills course the most helpful, not neccesarily for me but for our patrons.  We get alot of patrons who come in to use the computers for job searches, and they often possess little to no computer skills. Sadly, alot of employers post jobs online to try and weed out people with no computer skills. So it is often a painful and time consuming process to try and help jobseekers. The information I found in the job searching  course will actually come in handy next time someone needs help with job seeking. The interview tips, the online links to job websites and other tips related to online job seeking was all nicely displayed and user friendly. I'm glad I found this section.

Lastly, I searched through all the databases and found other resources for reading comprehension and downloaded an ebook. I thought that these tests and the whole learning library site will be helpful to our homeschool patrons, whom we have alot of. They use the library often with their parents, and this site is a new resource for them to learn from.
