LIBRARIES OFFER CLASSES ON COMPUTERIZED INDEX

Roanoke Valley library personnel are teaching patrons how to use the computerized catalog index.

Group or individual instruction is offered at the Salem Public Library on Tuesdays at 10 a.m and 5 p.m., and on Fridays at 10 a.m.

Lisa Bachelder, reference librarian in Salem, said those interested can fill out a registration sheet at the library's front desk or call the library at 375-3089.

In Roanoke County, those seeking instruction are asked to call the library's reference department at 772-7507 to make an appointment.

Roanoke library personnel works with patrons on an individual basis.

Computers in all libraries in the Roanoke Valley are on the same system so that patrons in any branch office can access a central catalog index to learn what is available in any other public library branch.
