Task #8 Español LIbGuide

Howdy! This week's task is a quiz created by Jennifer and is directly tied to the staff computer training on 10/19 and 10/20 on our Español LibGuide. If you go to the training, you'll do this task there; otherwise, you can find the guide by clicking on 'Español' from our home page.

You might be wondering how you're supposed to do this task or help people with this guide if you don't speak Spanish. Well, Google to the rescue again!

1. Go the the Español LibGuide and copy the url (http://researchhelp.mcpld.org/espanol)
2. Search for Google Translate, or enter translate.google.com into your browser.
3. Paste the Español LibGuide url into the search box and be sure the boxes above read 'Spanish to English'
4. Hit the translate button.

The entire website is now in English! Super handy.
Make sure to read all the way to the bottom for this month's complete assignment.
