Task #9 - Universal Class

Task: Let us know in your blog what you think about Universal Class and give us an idea of how we could use this database with library programming and/or staff training:


 I went ahead and registered for an account but I wonder when I'll squeeze one more thing into my life (certainly not for the next 6 weeks!)

I think it would be personally fun to delve into herbs or natural remedies.

I think we can refer those folks who want the coveted "behind the reference counter" Wiccan books to the Wiccan class.

Numerous patrons check out the GED training books and always seem to want them for more than 6 weeks. Referring those computer literate patrons to the GED training classes might help them in their self paced quest for a GED.

Many people can likely benefit from the "How to cope with and live with an Illness" type courses.

One caution - I dislike the sites title "Nursing CEU's." This area might be great for those who are interested in exploring careers in health care, such as medical or nursing assistants or as a review type course. We could refer them to the home page disclaimer:
These are non-credit courses and are provided for your personal enrichment. These courses are not intended to be a substitute for any state, government, licensing, or educational requirements.


Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I finally found the time to explore this resource.
