The Carrboro Branch Library is located at 900 Old Fayetteville Rd. , Chapel Hill , NC 27514 . Phone: 919-969-3006 Fax: 919-969-3008. See their website for more information about the library. All the workshops at the Carrboro Branch Library are from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Saturday mornings before the library opens. A librarian will arrive to open the library and provide any assistance you might need. Plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the class is scheduled to begin.
There are two banks of 8 computers: one with a mix of PC's and MAC's; one with 8 MAC's. There is currently no AV equipment available for teaching at this library so you will want to rely heavily on the floater or perhaps team teach to help participants keep up with instruction. Because these workshops are typically small, you might want to call the participants the night before to remind them of the workshop.
It is a good idea to check the computers before the workshop to see if there are problems with any of them. In order to keep statistics, please, check off the names of participants as they arrive. At the beginning of the workshop, please mention that the program is a collaboration between the library and the UNC-CH libraries. Introduce yourself and any colleagues who are assisting you and share what your affiliation is with the university or the library. At the close of the workshop, please have the participants fill out the brief evaluation form provided. The evaluation is voluntary and confidential, and it is extremely helpful to provide ongoing feedback about the program.
After the workshop, please fill out the brief online report found at http://www.lib.unc.edu/instruct/community_workshops/instructors/report.html . Please include a note about any difficulties, problems, successes or suggestions you had during the session whether it is about participants, library staff, equipment or the lesson plan or handout.
