This can work with Word documents, too.
(Note: Many web pages have links that say "Printable Version" or "Printer-friendly Version." Choosing this link may get rid of sidebars and other non-text features.)
The location of printing options will vary depending upon your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and how you have configured it. Look for a Printer icon or a menu option that says Print (or Print Preview).
Use "Print Preview"
- Click on Print Preview.
- Check which pages actually have the information you need. (Remember: Printing is limited to 15 sheets per day.)
- If you want to print all the pages, click the Print button or option.
Use "Page Range"
- If you want to specify which pages to print, in the pop-up window, select either
- Current Page (if you want only the page your cursor is on), or
- click on Pages choice and enter the range of pages to print. (Example: Pages from : 3 to: 5)
Print Only "Selected Text"
- If you want to print a specific part of the web page,
- highlight a selection with the mouse before starting the printing process,
- choose Print;
- choose Selection;
- Click Print or OK.

- Examples: Academic Search Complete, Opposing Viewpoints, Masterfile Premier
- 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.
- Once all the desired results are marked, you can either:
- view them on screen
- print them to a local printer
- download to a portable storage device
- email them to yourself
Note: Instructions on how to do all of these things are usually at the end of the results list or in the Help file.
