www.oakvillebeaver.com E-wareness at the library October is E-wareness Month, and until Oct. 31, libraries in the region are giving people the chance to win a laptop or an iPod while learning something new. People are invited to enter a Virtual Treasure Hunt contest. Answers to the three questions on the contest ballot can be found in some of the many information-rich resources available at the library. The contest has been put together by HALINET (the Halton Information Network), a joint partnership of information and education providers whose goal is to raise awareness of online information resources available free of charge in Halton region at local libraries to all residents, and through schools to all kids in every grade. During E-wareness Month, participating libraries in Halton region will provide contest ballots to students and library patrons. Prizes will be awarded at each partner location, with a chance to win a regional grand prize of a laptop computer, a second prize of a 19 inch flat panel monitor, and a third prize of a colour inkjet printer. "Many people struggle through too much information found using a Google search," said Sandi Loponen, Coordinator of Web & Electronic Resources at the Burlington Public Library. "Libraries want to help students and researchers learn important skills that will encourage them to be selective. What most people don't know is that they can find good quality, free information by looking to their library's electronic resources." At the Oakville Public Library this month, people can find out about the research tools available through the library website. On Sunday, Oct. 29, curriculum-based drop-in sessions will be held at the Glen Abbey Branch and at the Iroquois Ridge Branch, both from 2 ­ 4 p.m. Resources for Grades 2-3, 4-6 and 7-9 will be highlighted separately. Refreshments will be served. Participating E-wareness partners include: Halton District School Board, Halton Catholic District School Board, Burlington Pubic Library, Oakville Public Library, Milton Public Library and Halton Hills Public Library.
