The Berkeley County Library System, along with their partners with the local school district’s Adult Community Education program and the Chamber of Commerce knew that they could support local residents by helping to build the job skills needed for the new employers and the available positions. Together, they partnered on an application for a Google Data Center Community grant that would support the organizations in delivering training to under- or unemployed members the community.

Learn Free with the Goodwill Community Foundation WebJunction Next time you drop your yard sale rejects off at the local Goodwill, take a moment to think about what they do with the proceeds from their retail stores. You may be surprised to find out about the numerous programs they support that provide education, employment, and life enrichment opportunities for people in your community. Almost sounds like a library, right?

The Goodwill Community Foundation isn't a library, but is still pretty neat in its own right. One of the interesting programs they offer is called GCF LearnFree.org. This is a program that creates and provides quality online learning opportunities for anyone who wants to improve their technology, literacy, or math skills. Including more than 1,000 different lessons covering more than 90 topics, this is a great, free resource to help your patrons (or staff) learn new skills.

No Experience Required: Coding for Everyone Webinar Write-up Erin M. Schadt Last month, Kelly Smith, founder of Prenda, led the webinar Coding for Everyone: How Your Library Can Help Anyone Learn to Code, which introduced coding as an increasingly important digital literacy skill, showed why coding is important for all ages, and presented approaches and best practices by age along with a plethora of great resources.

Smith began by introducing himself and his journey to coding in the library, "I'm a self-proclaimed technology nerd. I've always loved technology, it goes all the way back to being a child."

After selling his software company and moved back to his home town of Mesa, AZ, he noticed there wasn’t a strong tech presence in the community and decided to do something about it. He approached the local library and began volunteering as the facilitator of a once-a-week kids coding club. The program started with 15 kids in a small computer lab and has since expanded (thanks in part to a crowd-funding effort) to include an additional programming room, a cart of Chromebook computers, and as many as 60 kids.

Learning Circles - We're Better Together Kendra Morgan We can do better together.

That's the idea that has stuck with me since participating in a recent webinar WebJunction hosted with Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) and Chicago Public Library (CPL) on Learning Circles. A Learning Circle brings a group of learners together in a unique library location over multiple weeks, with a common goal of taking the same online course, but with facilitated, in-person support. P2PU and CPL were the recipients of a Knight News Challenge grant to develop this program to work with patrons using courses from a variety of providers including Coursera, Khan Academy and EdX. These providers offer free, online courses to anyone with an Internet connection, which is an amazing opportunity, but Grif Peterson from P2PU shared that the completion rate for these online courses is estimated to be between 5–10%. So there is a clear opportunity to help improve these statistics, increase participation and provide learning opportunities that are tailored to specific community needs.

Host Learning Circles for Greater Online Learning Success Erin M. Schadt Most libraries offer programs that bring patrons together to learn, and many offer access to online learning programs, but what about bringing patrons together as a community around online learning?

That's the thinking of Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) and the Chicago Public Library (CPL), who over the past year created the concept of Learning Circles and have explored the possibilities, built the tools and tested their theories at more than a dozen branches of CPL.

P2PU was founded in 2009 and works to build online courses and tools to create more collaborative and creative learning experiences. Originally focused on creating online courses, they realized they couldn't compete with the huge numbers of MOOCs (massive open online courses) being generated, and switched their focus to support organizations that want to create community around online learning. CPL has 80 locations, a service area of about 2.7 million people and approximately 11 million visitors yearly.

Start from Scratch: A New Program of the Bucks County Free Library Shaun Pall & Regina Fried Last month, Bucks County Free Library began offering Start from Scratch, a new program aimed at helping members of the public connect to the digital world.

During Start from Scratch sessions, patrons bring their "mostly dead" PCs to a Bucks County Free Library (BCFL) branch, where staff members bring the computers "back to life" by installing preconfigured open source software. Patrons who can't attend a Start from Scratch session can download the software directly from our website and install it themselves.

The impetus for this program was BCFL's strategic plan. We believe that libraries today are where people get access to information and technology, and one of the main goals of our strategic plan is to help the residents of Bucks County connect to the online world. We decided to make reviving old computer equipment the primary goal of Start from Scratch, as this would give patrons access to the online world, whether they wanted to use a computer for email, browsing the Internet, streaming digital content, or gaming. We were inspired by Geek Squad and other commercial offerings that provide similar services for a fee.

Financial Education Tools for Libraries from CFPB Jennifer Peterson As you may know, we've been participating in an OpenIDEO challenge related to libraries and financial literacy. We've been learning about a variety of approaches to financial education, and also wanted to be sure libraries are aware of all the fantastic resources made available free from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). A year ago, CFPB announced their Community Financial Education Project alongside national partners including IMLS, American Library Association, FINRA Investor Education Foundation, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

Our goal is to provide librarians with a collection of financial education resources and tools. We want to help libraries identify and connect with local partners in their communities. We want to help them build an online community for local financial education librarians. And we want to be able to provide helpful trainings for library staff and managers. – CFPB Director Richard Cordray

The Library Resources area on their website has grown significantly since the project began. Here is an overview of what's available for libraries:

Librarian training – Monthly webinars for library staff on how to discuss financial education topics with patrons. Each 30-40 minute webinar covers basic financial education topics. Archived and upcoming sessions are listed on this page.

Program ideas – Every month, the CFPB provides a few different program ideas and suggests people and organizations in your community that can help present or spread the word about the program, as well as websites and other materials you can use in your program. Here are some of the program ideas.

A Slice of Maker Pie: Stories from Three Learner Labs Jenny Powell Think about the last time you ordered pizza and the numerous considerations that influenced your decisions. You may have weighed surroundings including dine-in versus carry-out or perhaps delivery, contemplated crust style and toppings, and evaluated the number of servings needed to satisfy everyone's appetite, all while ensuring that you stayed within budget. There were likely multiple configurations that impacted your overall dining experience and framed opinions toward future purchases.

In parallel, I recently chatted with three libraries who navigated a more serious route toward which slice of 'maker pie' would be most palatable to their communities and staff. Each one offers a distinct perspective based on library attributes and community needs, and openly shares their personal journey in selecting the appropriate environment and the foundation on which to build their digital media lab, teen hub or makerspace.

Cultivating a Hacker Ethic: Digital Citizenship at Innisfil Public Library Debra Mann At Innisfil Public Library, our vision is to spark ideas to ignite a creative and dynamic community. A central pillar of our current strategic plan is to "Cultivate a Hacker Ethic" through integrating technology into our services and spaces, and building technological confidence. As a result, the concept of responsible digital citizenship weaves quite naturally into many of our programs and services, even if it is not explicitly stated.

The Library has long offered traditional technology classes, usually done in a training room with participants at individual computer stations. Many of these classes tackle specific examples of digital citizenship. Our Email 101 course discusses email etiquette; courses on social media tools like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest deal with the ins and outs of managing your social media presence. These traditional technology courses convey the idea that you can harness technology to work for you, rather than the other way around.

Some courses, however, take an entirely unique approach. Hiding Your Digital Footprint, aimed at an adult crowd and offered by a member of our IT Department, discusses the various degrees to which citizens can protect their privacy online. We have offered the class as a standalone and as a book club paired with Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.

Learn by Doing: Teaching Tech to Patrons Anna Shelton Teaching technology can be daunting. But anyone can become a better technology trainer, says Crystal Schimpf, Library Training Consultant and Kixal CEO. In a recent webinar, summarized below, Schimpf shared ten clear, down-to-earth technology training tips – and left participants raving. Thanks to ALA's Learning Round Table for hosting this webinar in collaboration with WebJunction.org. Don't focus on the technology – focus on the teaching. In Schimpf's experience, it's often not the technology part of the equation that is the greatest challenge in teaching technology – instead, it's the teaching part. One of the best ways to become a more effective teacher is to reflect on our experiences as a learner. Chances are, someone has helped you learn something new about technology recently. What worked? As reported by webinar participants, successful tech learning experiences were marked by hands-on time to explore and play, learning from someone who was passionate about the topic, and not feeling embarrassed about their lack of knowledge. It takes skill to support this type of successful learning. Schimpf has distilled five skills that are particularly useful when providing technology training one-on-one; and five skills that are most helpful for training groups. One-on-one technology instruction: Five essential skills.

EveryoneOn: The Importance of Digital Literacy Skills Kendra Morgan On March 21, 2013 a new 3-year national public service campaign called EveryoneOn was launched. This campaign is run by the non-profit Connect2Compete (C2C), and is designed to promote the importance and value of digital literacy. Today, over 60 million Americans don’t use the Internet at all. This limits access to valuable job-searching opportunities, health care information, education resources.

One of the core messages of EveryoneOn is to encourage people who are limited or non-Internet users, to learn how to do “one thing better online”. Public libraries are key to the success of this effort because of the demonstrated commitment to providing free access to the Internet as well as to improving people’s skills (e.g. using a mouse, applying for jobs online, or creating email accounts).

For an overview of the campaign activities and more information about how libraries can be involved, please watch this recorded webinar (58 minutes). In addition to these details, you’ll also hear from a library that has used the EveryoneOn campaign materials and how the campaign aligns with the digital literacy working they are already doing.

Re-Imagining Public Libraries Mantra Roy The Atlantic Monthly video-essay 'Why Libraries Matter' follows people around New York's boroughs as they talk about why they visit public libraries. Whether their patrons are completing unfinished college degrees, filling out online applications to find jobs and career counseling, or finding resources to learn spoken English, public libraries continue to offer a safe haven to their communities. WebJunction's recent articles on public library services that go beyond checking out books and magazines, such as Makerspaces, language classes for immigrants and ESL speakers, and webinars such as health and wellness programs, reiterate the importance of public libraries. Most importantly, libraries form the platform for community development, bringing people together, physically, in an age when face-to-face contact can be all too rare.

Earlier this year the Aspen Institute convened an important panel discussion entitled 'Public Libraries Re-Imagined', during which presenters discussed how the role of public libraries has expanded beyond offering books. More than ever, libraries are a space where community members of various age groups learn important skills for personal and professional development.

Digital Citizenship and Public Libraries Mantra Roy Just as political citizenship expects principles of integrity of its citizenry, digital citizenship refers to expected modes of conduct in the digital world. Digital citizenship is an umbrella concept that includes the following: a) Preparing technology users for a society full of frequent technological innovations; b) Guiding technology users to become responsible and safe users of technology; c) Educating digital literates about making sound decisions regarding use of technology; d) Teaching digital natives how to be safe in an online world with respect to privacy issues and how to behave appropriately online; e) Teaching digital immigrants how to navigate technologies like social media tools to present themselves in a digital world; f) Informing technology users how to analyze and evaluate digital information; g) Recognizing teaching tools to help the wide range of technology users; h) Identifying teaching methodologies to reach the digital literacy needs of the community.

Learning through Playful Exploration with Makerspaces Steph Harmon Marshmallow engineering? Robotics? Punk knitting? These creative activities are all examples of recent makerspace events happening at libraries all over the country. Programs like these are all about building community and mixing traditional crafts with new technologies to explore new tools and ways of learning.

Maker programming integrates art, science and play to help teach a wide range of techniques and skills including problem solving, collaboration and critical thinking.

Last month, Sam Maskell and Mara Siegel co-presented a WebJunction webinar on makerspaces called "Making Your Space: Creators and Makers in the Library." In this resource-packed webinar, our two presenters covered the basics of what makerspaces are, and how they are relevant to libraries.

Yet the need continues to grow as the demand for basic skills intensifies and new skills emerge.

DEV DEV: A Summer of Code Justin Hoenke In July 2013, the Chattanooga Public Library hosted fifty teens ages 12-18 for DEV DEV: Summer of Code. Made possible through a partnership between the library, Engage 3D, AIGA Chattanooga, and by funding from the Benwood Foundation, the DEV DEV program was created to teach youth technology, programming, design, and much more.

After initial conversations in late April 2013 between all of the organizations mentioned, DEV DEV: summer of code was designed as a four week code camp for teens ages 12-18. During those four weeks, the teens learned about HTML, CSS, Python, and robotics. Each week focused on a different topic and as the program went on last week’s topic informed the current topic. Tying everything together was the underlying idea that good technology, design, and process are all critical elements of making a project come together.

The classes were structured around working with technology, lessons about the subject of the week, unplugged activities, and guest speakers. Unplugged activities varied from creating window sized pixel art to students programming their classmates by writing programming instructions on pen and paper. The unplugged activities were key: they got the teens moving around and reinforced the idea that while technology is great to use for solving problems, sometimes a break to work things out in other ways is needed.

How to "Tech" with Teens: Give Them a Space and a Voice Megan Knapp Imagine teens working together at the library to develop apps and video games; or designing a digital fashion portfolio; or authoring an iBook for their peers on how to stop bullying. At HiTech, you don't have to imagine, teens are doing all of these things and more, hanging out and geeking out together and learning valuable skills they will carry with them long after lessons end.

As they set goals and plans in place for the program, Howard County Library asked themselves what they wanted youths to "feel, do and learn" in HiTech. They reviewed the Youmedia approach in Chicago as an example of a successful program, and incorported new media principles of HOMAGO (hanging out, messing around, and geeking out) for engaging their audience.

But if you don’t have a computer, or you are new to using a particular device, the experience of working with technology can often be intimidating, or downright frustrating.

Libraries today offer an important service to communities, through access to technology equipment and training to overcome tech barriers, but they can’t always do this alone. As budgets shrink and resources are spread thin, maintaining a rich course curriculum -- and even sourcing and training the volunteers needed to teach technology classes -- can be challenging. In the recent "Amp Up Your Technology Training" webinar, facilitators discussed approaches to older adult education, and the unique benefits of partnering with subject matter experts at Oasis Connections, to provide technology training in the library environment.

The Impact of Romania's Libraries Jennifer Peterson In 2009 the Biblionet program was launched in Romania through the generous support of Global Libraries at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The program had trained nearly 2,500 librarians and equipped over 1,700 public libraries with computers and patron training. WebJunction’s Jennifer Peterson traveled to Romania to present as part of the Librarian Trainers’ Conference this month, where the more than 100 librarian trainers gathered.
