South Australian Libraries are looking for UniSA students from the Community Services Learning Project to participate in valuable work demystifying technology for community members, as part of their Digital Library Buddies program.
UniSA students from a wide range of backgrounds have been working at Campbelltown Library on drop-in sessions and workshops to develop skills around using Skype, setting up Facebook accounts, understanding some of the features of Microsoft Word and 'My Gov'. This highly successful program is now being extended to libraries throughout the Adelaide metropolitan area.
