<p>Hearing a talk about social media or watching an online tutorial
can be helpful, but <span style="font-weight: bold;">nothing takes the
place of trying something out yourself. That’s what SWON’s Level-Up Labs
offer</span>: useful information, and time and the tools to put it into
practice.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>There’s also time to ask questions. Judging from the response we’ve
had, that’s one of the most useful parts of the Lab. Whether it’s a
technical solution, an explanation, a quick walkthrough, or feedback
from others in the room, you can get the help you’re looking for.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>Our <span style="font-weight: bold;">upcoming Level-Up Lab schedule</span>
includes sessions for LinkedIn, Evernote, LibGuides, and Publisher. And
others like Powerpoint and Basic HTML are in the wings, waiting to be
requested and put on the schedule. You can see the full list of
scheduled Level-Up Labs here: <a href="http://tiny.cc/lab-schedule">http://tiny.cc/lab-schedule</a><br>
<br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">If you can’t make these dates, why
not invite Nathan out to hold a 1-hour Lab at your location?</span> I
don’t teach all the Labs, but if there are skills you’d like to improve,
tell me what you’d like to work on and I’ll see if it’s something I
know enough or can learn enough about to teach. You can contact me at <a
href="mailto:nathan@swonlibraries.org">nathan@swonlibraries.org</a>.</p>
