When this Inkscape workshop is finished, I hope you will plan\u00a0something similar for\u00a0GIMP and other creative technologies. If I were still in library school\u2026I would try to do an internship with you&#8230;.Someone told me they took a class in photo editing with you at NJLA this year? I would like to hear more about this&#8230; Would you ever be interested in doing programs at OCL for staff and\/or the public? I&#8217;ve learned a lot from you and am very impressed with your knowledge, philosophy, and teaching style. \u00a0\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In hearing that we were able to extend a series of workshops at Princeton Public Library on Inkscape from 4 weeks to five, attendee Beth Plankey said<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is exactly what I was hoping for. I am delighted. I would gladly attend every Monday for the rest of my life! It may take that long to learn all that Inkscape can do. Thanks ever so much to all of you!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A third attendee, Martha Otis, who was not able to make all the PPL sessions, remarked hopefully about future sessions:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI am glad to have had an intro to this marvelous program by a patient and imaginative teacher. Sorry I&#8217;ll miss classes but grateful for what I learned. Keep me informed please.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I was recently voted in as one of the <em>most interesting NJ Librarians to hear present<\/em> in an open internet survey, though I am not, in fact, a Librarian. Many people have mistaken my passion for Libraries as an actual MLS. (<a title=\"Most interesting Librarians\" href=\"http:\/\/redlibcomic.blogspot.com\/2010\/08\/winners-most-likelynj-librarians-survey.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/redlibcomic.blogspot.com\/2010\/08\/winners-most-likelynj-librarians-survey.html<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Other quick comments from recent session feedback forms:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>John was so organized, knowledgeable, over all just excellent.<\/p>\n<p>John rocks.<\/p>\n<p>Great information, especially from John. I liked how he was able to concisely explain the various technology tools that are available.<\/p>\n<p>I had a lot of questions about technology that were answered during the session. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll have to call the Technology office less often this fall now that I know how to post things on Blackboard, etc.<\/p>\n<p>John was terrific!
