Have you Tried Computer Help Sheets?

Computer Help Sheets are single sheets, double-sided, designed to give your patrons step-by-step instructions for completing specific tasks on a computer. The Help Sheets have been designed by Dreama Deskins of DKD Consulting under a contract with the North Central Library Service Area and the Southwest Iowa Library Service Area, with financial support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Training Program Grant received by the State Library of Iowa. Access the sheets here:

Photocopying is permitted, but the notice at the bottom of the sheet must be included when reproducing and distributing. All help sheets are in pdf format. You are encouraged to check back regularly for new help sheets. Karen Burns, administrator of the Southwest Iowa Library Service Area, says, “The purpose of the grant, and future help sheets, is to help anyone and everyone to make better use of the computer resources available to them, so please ‘spread them around!’”
