Primary Consultant 5

In the past few weeks, I have helped many students with digital stuff. Even though I like working with papers, I really enjoyed digital consulting. I noticed that most of the students who need help with digital stuff come to the center… I’m not sure if they know about the library satellite having digital consultant. I plan to add in my Bio that I work at the library so if anyone can’t find an appointment with me, they can come to the library. I helped students with adobe and nvu. Both clients left satisfied. With digital consulting, I saw that it really helps to have the student carry the task they came for a few times. This gives them confidence with the program. With nvu, there have been times when I have to ask Noah to help me. I learn it with the students and then we redo the procedure to make sure we all understood what Noah was talking about. I would like to add that when Noah comes over to help us, he does a really good job explaining nvu to the students and I plan to use his method when I consult someone who has not used nvu.

The only problem with digital consulting at the library is that we don't have all the resources. If the student has the program on their laptop, it's great, you know? But I don't even know if our library laptops have all the programs on them.

I completely agree with you robyn. I just feel they should be told that someone can help them... if they want to come with their own computer.
