Welcome

This site is the companion to the Waukesha County Federated Library Systems Introducing the Internet workshops. The workshops are free for the patrons of public and school libraries in Waukesha County, WI. They are funded through a Wisconsin TEACH grant.

Schedule

Check with your local library for the dates and times of Introducing the Internet workshops. Be sure to check with individual libraries about availability of space for the hands on workshops.

Workshop Contents

We've divided the workshop into seven subject areas. Each area is short and easily learned. When they are all combined you're on your way to Connecting to the Internet Community. We start with a glossary so we're all speaking the same language and then explore practical approaches to the Internet. Click on the links to see the lesson for each one:

1. Glossary
2. Using the Mouse
3. Addresses
4. Navigating
5. Search Engines
6. Starting at Home
7. Connecting Yourself

You can email us at any time and we'll be happy to do what we can to make your Internet experience fun and useful.
