of sidebars and other non-text features.)

pages to print.
(Example: Pages from : 3 to: 5)

- Click on the button in the upper left-hand corner that reads Print...
- Choose the icon for the printer name that does not begin with the number 2.
- Choose Print.

Download Web Pages to a Disk:
(Note: Saving web pages in HTML format (.htm or .html) as outlined below will automatically create a folder for any graphics associated with the web page being saved. This can take up a lot of space on your disk and may potentially fill all of the disk's remaining space.)
- Insert a PC formatted disk.
- Go to page you wish to save and click with the left mouse button on File and click on Save As...
- In the pop-up window, click on the down arrow in the Save in window at the top. Choose 3 1/2 Floppy (A:). (or, the Zip drive if that option is available and you have a zip disk)
- In the File name window, type a name.
- If you will want to use the information later while word processing, make sure the file name ends in .txt
- If you will want to look at what you are saving later as a web page,make sure the file name ends in .htm or .html
- Click on Save.
- When drive light goes off, remove your disk.

computers has been disabled for security reasons.)
- Place the mouse on top of the image and click with the right mouse button.
- In the pop-up window, select Save Image As... (or Save Picture As ...)

Email Articles from Subscription Electronic Resources:
Most of the electronic resources to which ACC subscribes allow emailing articles to the searcher.
Although the individual resources handle this is different ways, the methods are somewhat similar:
- After searching, a results list is displayed. You may take a look at the results one at at time or you may mark particular
results for later viewing, etc.
- Once all the desired results are marked, you can either
- view them on screen,
- print them to a local printer,
- download to a disk, or
- email them to yourself.
- Instructions for doing any of these things is found usually at the end of the list or at the bottom of the results screen.
