Hello and welcome, it is the intention of this guide to compile resources that will help you gain computer and technology skills valuable to your academic and daily life. This guide is an expansion of our 2020-2021 Digital Equity through Digital Inclusion IMLS funded grant program and is here to serve as a community resource for anyone looking to expand their computer skills.  Information about and links to the various training modules will be provided. Librarians contact information are supplied for further assistance. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. 

Our original program was made possible by funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (IMLS grant number LS-246551-OLS-20)
