Thursday 13

13 Things you can do on the Library's Adult computers.

1. Write a letter on Microsoft Word.
2. Create a resume with Winway's Resumes and More. Work through the wizard to customize your resume. This is for advanced users. Just want a basic resume? Use the Microsoft Word wizard.
3. Play on the internet! Surf away, we just ask that you not view inappropriate content or chat. There are millions of websites for you to enjoy.
4. Look for employment. Either through local newspapers, the Indiana job Bank or through sites like monster.com.
5. Sign up for your very own My Space account. Join the My Space revolution, sign up for your own page then email your friends and tell them where to find you.
6. Look for love through websites like match.com and eharmony.
7. Find a book to read. Browse our catalog or Amazon, Barnes & Noble and many others to find the perfect book. If we don't have it, request that the library order it, or if it is older, request it through interlibrary loan for no charge.
8. Read newspapers from around the world. Many newspapers have their own websites. Browse USA today, the Indianapolis Star and many more online.
9. Keep up to date on the latest news. MSNBC, Fox News and CNN have continuous online coverage.
10. Create a chart with Microsoft Excel.
11. Make a birthday card with Microsoft Publisher. Choose your design, graphic and text.
12. Sign up for a free webpage and express yourself.
13. Create your own blog! My favorite is blogger, but there is also live journal, wordpress and many more.
