This was a very interesting class. First I totally agree that it would be best to create a job help website or link on our library homepage and locate all of the job related websites in the location. I would suggest resume building, links to job searching online, local job postings and basic computer training.
Bottom line, these sites are not going to be useful unless the user has some basic computer skills. The more educated an individual is on basic computer skills the more likely they are to not only find and qualify for a job, but also to keep that job. Libraries really need to partner with other agencies in working on this public need.
The GCF webpage was good, but some of the pictures looked a bit dated. The Texas Workskills Development in Libraries website was not a useful experience. Many of the links were broken.
