The Worcester Public Library has acquired a new resource to assist patrons with basic digital skills and tools. Northstar Digital Literacy is a comprehensive program that teaches basic computer and technology skills to individuals to help them succeed in work, education, and daily life. Free, online self-guided units on various topics assess the ability of individuals to perform tasks based on these skills.
Available in English and Spanish, these basic computer literacy units are divided into three different modules:
- Essential Computer Skills
- Essential Software Skills
- Using Technology In Daily Life
You can sign up as a learner and track your progress in each unit you test by creating a Northstar account. if you do not want to create an account, you can also try Northstar without a learner account. However, assessments taken without a learner account do not track your progress.
To access this resource, go to the databases page on mywpl.org. Access is available at every Worcester Public Library location. You can access remotely from your home. Call
508-799-1655, ext. 3, to talk to a librarian or email us at
