Hello
 
My name is Aldo Taranto
 
Personnel within our local library network need to be increasingly conscious to identify members of the community who are not "computer literate". Many of us continue to make assumptions that a majority of library users have adequate fundamentals computer skills.
 
It is not the role of our library network to offer support and training for people who are not adequately computer literate.  There are a number of adult education centres state wide and capable and approachable computer tutors within these centres where such clients can be referred to.
 
Adult Education Centres (Community Centres) offering computer skills programs and the library network should have a closer relationship with each other.
 
Thanking you for the opportunity to comment.
