Our workshops teach participants to make productive and efficient use of
the Internet. In our workshops we provide an integrated learning
experience through the combination of:
* presentations
* online demonstrations
* hands-on opportunities
* printed materials including an extensive
Internet Tools & Resources Guide
* group discussions
If you have little or no Internet experience and want to know what you
are missing, you should attend our introductory morning session entitled
"Internet Basics."
If you have some Internet experience and would like to improve your skills
and understanding, you should attend our advanced afternoon session
entitled "Finding Information on the Internet."
Beginners interested in putting the Internet to immediate use should
consider attending both of these sessions.
If you have any questions or would like more information about our
services, please let us know. To register, simply fill out the
registration form and send a check payable to Argus Associates Inc. Along
with your confirmation, we will send you a map with directions to the
Dearborn campus. Feel free to share these materials with interested
colleagues. Please note that the enclosed registration form lists our
reduced rates for librarians and educators. For information about our
