CAP is a free service run by the Canadian govern- ment. Central Huron student Lisa Martin holds weekly sessions at both the Exeter and Kirkton library branches. Martin says the sessions are e-mail based but involve a lot of e-com- merce, too. "Basically we do what they want to do on-line," says Martin. Martin heard about the sessions from her friend Roz and wanted to get involved. "My friend Roz is work- ing at the Clinton branch doing CAP." Martin says apart from helping others she also finds it an interesting experience. "I'm learning too, while teaching people. Normally I do stuff (on the comput- er) and don't think about it. It's more of a realiza- tion of what I'm doing." Exeter resident Marg Kehn has attended the one-on-one sessions a cou- ple of times and says they have been beneficial to her.
