Which place would you guys recommend more for taking an online class: one of the libraries, or one of the student centers?
Also, does anyone know when the College Ave Student Center will reopen?
Thanks for any help!
Ok -- what i'm trying to do is to get a divi library item (slideshow) to center the images. They keep hanging to the left with no option to center them. -- is there a workaround css for this? Thank You in advance! this page top left image just for instance.
ok after lots of experimentation... it seems like the css code i put in / and when i go to another browser window to refresh, it takes about 2 minutes for the code to make them all full length like i want them to. Is there any way to make this (and any other code) load faster or closer to the browser refresh screen time? Checking out if anyone has this "time lag for code" problem.
Edit: So it seems to be a mix of time lag and even retries on clicking the pictures to see the slider... eventually they all go full screen width. Any input on how to fix this "temporary" problem ? Thanks!
I was surprised to find out that San Diego Public library offers over 360 free interactive, instructor led courses that you can take entirely online. There is no set time of day for the classes. They upload each lesson on set days of the week, and you can take each lesson at any time at your convenience within two weeks of when each lesson was made available. You ask questions to your instructor and interact with classmates online. There are assignments and quizzes and a final exam to help you learn the material and test your knowledge.
If you are a library card holder in good standing, you are entitled to these courses at no cost. Courses run for six weeks and new sessions begin every month.
Here's the link to the courses:

Good for the whole family. My husband, teenage daughter, and all signed up for classes.
I'm thinking about going back to school but I don't have a personal computer yet. Working on getting one but until I do, can I use a public computer to go to class or is that too risky? I've never gone to class online so I don't know if I have to download stuff like a chatroom or something which I can't do with a public computer.
Hope this is the right sub lol.
Many cities have a big church or a massive library being on of the main landmarks and central spots in the city, but aside from these two since more and more people don't go to temples or the library, what are some other ideas for a central building that will be beneficial and fun for the people of the city and will make them want to hang out at?
I'm asking about a building btw, so not a open square or a public park, more like if the Notre-Dame wasn't a church/The Blue Mosque wasn't a mosque, but was something else. Would love to know your opinions
my company is looking to start a customer contact center about 50 users or so. looking for an online tool that inspects computer hardware for compatibility for potential call center agents.
any help is appreciated

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to the e-reader world. I've got a bunch of books I've downloaded from the Kobo and Kindle stores, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage my collection so that: a) I can find a particular book if I want to upload it to my Kobo, and b) have a back up in case Calibre crashes and/or I lose my library on my computer. I'd love to know how you organize and back up your collection. I have a Kobo, if that makes any difference.
Here are a few specific things I'm wondering about:
- When you download a book from the Kobo or Kindle stores to your desktop, they don't download with the proper name or title. Do you rename each file as you do this? Is there any need to do that since, once it's uploaded to Calibre, the file will be automatically renamed?
- I want to keep a copy of each book on my computer that's separate from my Calibre library, in case Calibre crashes. What's the most efficient way to do this? Should I just add each book in the original format, as I download it from Kobo/Kindle (thus the renaming mentioned in the last bullet)? Or does it make more sense to just copy the Calibre libary occasionally and save it as a new file? (although I guess that raises the issue of how to organize books that I haven't uploaded to Calibre or my device)
- If I copy the Calibre library as my back up instead of keeping the original formats, it's sorted nicely into authors- which makes me think this is the better way to do it. Is there's any reason to save the original downloaded file instead (after I rename it)? What file name format do you use and why? (Author- title? Title- author?) Is the original format better quality? Saving these would mean my collection tags wouldn't be attached, right?
I hope this makes sense. Being a newbie, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the best way to make this work and I'm trying to articulate the jumble in my brain!
Thank you!
The other day i was showing off the wonders of mac system 7.5 to my 10 year old nephew. He had a lot of fun with it which was surprising honestly. He saw Netscape and was like "can we go online?". And then i realized "Oh right... my nephew is too young to know what dial-up is".
In my family im basically the archive. I handed my dad a controller and we played missle command on the atari 400. I have a CRT tv and a vcr and when my grandfather saw it he actually got excited and grabbed a vhs tape he had from 20+ years ago he never was able to use. Put the tape in and it was a home video from 1994 showing my baby brother and my parents who were newly married and i wouldn't exist for another 9 years.
Basically people i know come to me when they want to use some kind of old format or are curious about it. Its kinda nice. Honestly not to sound narcissistic or big headed but i wish i had someone like myself in my life. Not because im a narcissist or because i love myself but because i would of loved to have access to all these ancient pieces of technology.
I just think how cool would it be if everyone had access to those types of things. Like the ability to make punchcards, or write BASIC on an appleII or pop a floppy disk into a mac and play sim city 2000 or use operating systems from the first mac OS to OSx
I mean sure you could use an emulator but im talking about doing that kind of stuff on the real deal exactly as they had done it in the 70s to 90s.
It would be cool. Like to learn the history of computing and learn the basics of how computers work and overall just having fun with it all.
No its not an idea i actively make into a reality. Its more of a fantasy. Like a dream of sorts.
or maybe im just stupid lol
My public library received a grant to purchase new computers. Should we get laptops, desktops, or chromebooks?
What software should we include? Microsoft Office? Video editing software?
Edit: Thank you every one :)
I have three online classes so I am only on campus for two classes. While I am trying to make friends in my classes I also want to consider other options as well due to only having two classes in person. I always wondered if striking up a convo at a library or computer lab could lead to a friendship. Has it worked for anyone?

Just wondering whose going, and what to expect. This is going to be my first conference regarding Technology in the Library system... As I am not a librarian, but the IT at one I opted for this one instead of the big Portland event.
Thanks in advance!
