Traditional classroom courses are offered on campus and usually take place in a classroom in the College of DuPage library. Instructors are using Internet technology in the on-campus classes and most have an Internet component, as well as, traditional face-to-face sessions. Students should have an email address and be familiar with basic word processing and Internet searching in preparation for all library technology classes.
