Using Library Computers

If you download articles using a Library computer, you may either purchase a floppy disk at the Library and save your articles to that diskette, or bring in your own diskette.

Users may not download articles to a Library computer's hard drive.

For each page printed, a fee of 15 cents will be deducted from your SmartCard TM.

Troubleshoooting

These databases all require a cookies-enabled browser, such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

You may download, print or email articles if you wish.

Firewalls: if you are at work, your employer may be using a "firewall" to control network and Internet access. This may prevent you from connecting to library resources.

Special instructions for AOL users: start up your AOL connection as usual, minimize, then start Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.  

If you are unable to connect to the databases, please contact the Library's I.T. Department at 505-768-5181 for assistance.
