If you have way too many favorites in your favorites list, or know patrons that do, and you want to learn about other creative and useful ways (besides adding more favorites) to organize and use the Web-based information you save on your browser and computer… then this day-long, hands-on workshop is for you! You’ll learn how, and more importantly, when to use your favorites list, your links bar, your computer’s desktop and your computer’s task bar to store Web links you want to revisit often. You’ll learn how to create desktop shortcuts to Websites and really organize your computer’s desktop, as well as learn how to create ‘instant web pages’ from your favorites without knowing anything at all about HTML. Finally you’ll learn other creative ways to deliver links to patrons and staff members.
