Remembering Volunteer Jean Duller

Long time Medical Library volunteer Mr. Jean Duller passed away on June 5, 2011, at the age of 86. Jean was such a friendly, welcoming man, and both staff and other volunteers appreciated his kind, fatherly nature. It was obvious in talking with him how much he loved his family and how important his church family was to him. I appreciated his dedication, work, and friendship. We will miss Jean.

The government has a new site called DigitalLiteracy.com which serves as a collection spot for links to resources and tutorials to learn computer and Internet skills, put them to use in finding jobs, and help children stay safe online.

Under "Learn the Basics" is a section called "Child Online Protection" which includes help with combating cyberbullying.
