Are you suffering from SSDS (Sidebar, Subpage, Drupal Syndrome)?

Is your department head asking you to update the department’s web page? Does the thought of adding a sidebar make you call the Helpdesk? Fear not, join me for a Drupal Intro class. We’ll learn the basics of Drupal so you’ll be adding links, pictures, and a host of other cool things to your page the very next day. For you more advanced users who may be struggling with needs beyond the basics, join us for a work session. We’ll help you get the job done and you’ll leave with the “know how.” You can look for upcoming workshop dates at go/lisworkshops and sign up for the class that fits your needs. See you on the sidebar or maybe in a subpage.

Drupal Work Session Opportunity — Monday, July 15

In response to requests for a Drupal Work Session we are offering one on Monday, July 15 at 2 pm.  Click here to sign up.  Come join us and work on your web pages, uninterrupted, with someone right there to answer all of your questions and help you with any problems.

Be sure to visit go/lisworkshops periodically as we do add “special request” sessions in cases where others are welcome to attend.

Looking for some other type of training?  We are happy to work with you to arrange “by request” sessions for your group, classroom space and staff resources permitting.  Send a description of your workshop needs to:  helpdesk@middlebury.edu.

 

Where is the LIS Summer Workshop Schedule?

We currently have just one open workshop on the horizon — Introduction to Drupal on Thursday, July 11 at 1pm.  If you are a new content provider who needs to learn the basics of creating and maintaining a departmental web site (or are someone who would simply like a refresher), you’re in luck.  Click here to sign up.

Be sure to visit go/lisworkshops periodically as we do include “special request” sessions in cases where others are welcome to attend.

We do not typically advertise many open workshops during the summer months as attendance is often limited due to vacations and classroom spaces are at a premium while the Language Schools are in session.  We are, however, happy to work with you to arrange “by request” training for your group, classroom space and staff resources permitting.  Send a description of your workshop needs to:  helpdesk@middlebury.edu.

Don’t forget about  lynda.com  — Middlebury’s fabulous online learning resource.  Summer is the perfect time to learn something new, such as iPhone Photography, from Shooting to Storytelling or Managing and Analyzing Data in Excel.

Last Chance — LIS Open Workshops Wind Down for the Summer

It’s not too late to join us for a workshop (in English!) before Language Schools begin.  Visit go/lisworkshops to view the last of our advertised open sessions.  You’ll find a Drupal introduction that covers basic web site maintenance skills, as well as another opportunity to learn how to access and use  lynda.com  — Middlebury’s fabulous online learning resource that uses short videos to help you acquire new business and technology skills, including photography finesse.

Lynda’s recently added courses include such varied topics as “Managing Teams,” “Designing a Book,” and “Up and Running with Windows 8.” Watch a single video or work through an entire course, but be warned — it’s addictive.

Please note that we do continue to offer “by request” group training during the summer months, staff and classroom space permitting; kindly send your request with details to helpdesk@middlebury.edu.
