To help users who are new to computers we have included links to two online courses from the BBC that will guide you through the basics of using computers and the internet. Both courses are free and you don't need to register or sign up.

• The Computer Tutor will guide you through the basics of using a computer including using a mouse and keyboard for the first time.
• BBC Webwise is a more advanced course for those already comfortable with basic computing. It includes separate modules on subjects such as email and searching.

Several libraries in Trafford run Silver Surfers sessions. The nature of these varies from informal groups to tutored classes. It is best to check with the library to make sure their group will cater for your needs. The following libraries run Silver Surfer sessions.

• Coppice Library
