The South Carolina State Library will present "Tech Topics to Go" for state government employees this fall.
The six one-hour sessions provide examples and tips on implementing new web-based technologies in the workplace for internal use and for promoting state government services to the public. The first session, on blogging, will be held Sept. 22 at the State Library.
Each fast-paced session covers a different technology topic. State employees are welcome to sign up for one or more classes or the whole series. Sessions are 11 a.m. to noon each Friday, from Sept. 22 through Oct. 27. This series of classes is free.
