Week 2 Lesson 2 – Learning Express Library


1.       I would show my patron the section on GED Preparation where he would be able to take practice tests and improve on GED skills.  I would also show him the section on Skill Building for Adults that includes reading, math, science, speaking, and other skills that might assist him.  Lastly I would show him the section on Job Search and Workplace Skills where he would learn skills for resumes and interviewing.


2.      The patron that wants to improve her skills before applying for an office manager’s job would benefit from several of areas on the Learning Express Library including the sections on business writing and job search, resumes and interviewing in the Job Search and workplace skills area.    Another section that may be helpful to her is the Federal Clerical Worker Exam Preparation.  After typing “office manager” in the search box, several other choices were listed including courses on organization and succeeding on the job.


3.      For the students who wants to do research on being a nurse or a pharmacist, I would show him the section of Nursing and Allied Health under the heading  of Jobs and Careers.   Under the tab of Career Guidance, it has sections on pharmacy tech, becoming a nurse, becoming a health care professional, and becoming a caseworker.  These would all be helpful for him as well as the ebook that I found called PCAT, which is the Pharmacy college admission test, that includes practice test.

  1. You would have some very satisfied patrons, if they follow your advice, Mighty Mel. I hope they do, and come back and tell you how you helped them improve themselves! Thanks for your comments and good work here.
