<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: blue">I just learned
about <A href="http://www.gcflearnfree.org/">GCFLearnFree.org</A> and thought
it could be useful in libraries. The site provides free tutorials in
such areas as computer training like Excel and email basics , job skills like
resume writing and tips for job searching, math and money basics like figuring
percentages and staying out of debt, and everyday life basics like reading a
map and filling a prescription. They’ve also just launched a section for
helping people learn to read. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: blue">Tutorials are
self-paced and interactive, and a few about computers can even be taken as
online classes during which learners get feedback from instructors and can
earn a certificate of completion and continuing education credits. <A
