Ok now I know my problem. If you change the affiliation from Connecticut, the courses become paid. Thanks Carol! TCP/IP course, here I come!!

Well, don't ignore them if you can still find one hour free, Ali.

Kevin, where exactly did you enrolled yourself?
If you access the courses on the main WJ web site, then you bump into the paid ones.
You need to access those free classes via Connecticut Courses link.

Scroll down and click on the Courses Catalog. That should give you all the courses offered as free.

On this link - Courses offered by the University of North Texas - you should be able to access some of the Librarian Classes.

If you still get the paid ones, e-mail me.

I tried to register and enroll but after I registered and signed in, the courses changed from free to paid. Any ideas how to "by-pass" that? I guess they are free to certain library employees. How do I "become" a library employee :)

Morgan, you may be amazed by the fact that they are free, but wait to see the content and then you'll be more amazed.

Some of the classes are offered by the University of Texas, and you can enroll yourself as a student, with them.

I just found out yesterday that i was a student there, with two courses and Copyrighting and Communication.

Ali, proactive or not, i just hope i won't get a crack on my brain from too much info at once.

Did you enrolled yourself as well?

Carol - You are the best. I can't wait to jump over to WebJunction. I can't believe it's free. Thank you so much. You get a gold star on your chart.
