Project Description: Evaluate ways to connect community digital skills gaps with effective learning opportunities on an as-needed, individualized basis. Learn how to increase awareness and use of library’s digital resources and one-to-one learning opportunities. Consider starting "Library Learning a la Carte" promotional campaign.
Question/Problem Statement: Every day we see community members struggle with online job applications, setting up email accounts, and writing resumes. Staff assist in the moment as opportunities allow, but computer station assistance disrupts other patrons, and is a privacy risk for those we assist.
We offer a wide variety of entertaining and educational digital resources, yet use is often sporadic, and low at best.
How should we inform the community of all that we offer, including staff as a resource? What staffing adjustments need to be made to accomplish this task, while still providing full coverage at front desk?
Statement of Why: Job seekers are required to submit resumes and apply online for jobs, yet many lack the basic digital skills required to successfully land an interview. We need to inform the community of all that we offer, including the availability of staff as a resource. We need to increase use of online digital resources. We need to provide assistance in a less disruptive manner, protecting the privacy of those we serve.
