WEB HISTORY TIPS

Navigating the Web
  • External sites are not linked back to these courses, so you will either have to use "back" or "previous" button on your browser to return.  If that does not work, and you lose your place, you can always go back to my homepage at novaonline.nvcc.edu/eli/evans/default.htm.
  • As you browse the pages to which you have been linked, you will find many other sites related to the one you have visited.  It is a good idea to first check them by using the "text version" whenever possible, since loading graphics can take a long time.  (You can turn off the "Auto Load Images" feature of your browser.  In Netscape, the command is in the "Options" menu; in Explorer, the "Show Pictures" option is in the "Options" under "View.")  Once you have decided that you like a site, click on "graphics version" or some similar direction and you will be able to see the full-blown page.
  • If you discover sites which you find especially interesting and which might prove useful in this course, please e-mail the addresses to me.  I will place links on the appropriate course pages.
  • Please note that web sites and addresses are always changing, if you find that any of the links in this course are no longer working, please e-mail me so that I can remove that link.
  • If you need some help with the www, please contact me by phone, 703.323.3713 box 0846 or 703.450.2520, or by e-mail .
  • You can download any of the course files/pages in my history courses for your own personal use.  To copy a particular file, or page, to a disk:
    • Access the file/page and display it on your screen;
    • Go to the pulldown menu at the top of the screen;
    • Choose "File" and then "Save As";
    • Designate your floppy disk as the destination and save the file.
  • To print a particular file/page:
    • Access the file/page and display it on your screen;
    • Choose the "Print" button on the top of the screen and the file/page will print to the default printer.
