Learning Microsoft Office
One of our most frequent requests in the Science & Technology Department is for books about Microsoft Office software – especially Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access and Outlook. Clearly many people want to learn to use these products or to improve their skills. The good news is that the Library has lots of material in a variety of formats for beginner to advanced learners.
Let's start with a look at books. Here are some examples of what's available for the 2013 version of the Office suite. Note that we also have books on earlier versions if that's what you're interested in learning.
