Arts and Crafts on the Web 		
 (Fine Arts & Practical Arts)

July 27, 2001

10:00AM-3:30PM	
at OHIONET, 1500 West Lane Ave., Columbus OH
		
Instructor:	Miriam Kahn		
	
Description: 	 			
 			
 	Are you surrounded by patrons who want to redecorate their homes,
plant a garden, fix their cars and plan a gourmet meal AND purchase
beautiful art in their home-office? And they want to do it all this week!
Maybe they want to know the story line behind an opera or ballet on the
afternoon before they go to the show. Do you know where to find all these
topics in the library and the Internet? Take some time away from the
reference desk to learn and explore these two specialized reference areas of
the Arts and Crafts (Practical Arts). Then go back and help those "hurry-up,
I need to find this and go" patrons. Goals: learn basic reference tools and
Internet sites in the Arts (Art, Music, Dance) and Design (Landscaping, Home
Decorating); find reference sources for the Practical Arts (Woodworking,
Auto Mechanics, Cooking, Gardening, Needle Arts, Home Repairs); refresh
reference Interview skills to determine which tools and resources in these
subject areas serve your patrons' needs. 		
 	
Audience:
Any library staff providing reference assistance, particularly those in
public libraries, school libraries and practical arts collections.
