The University's website contains a heap of current information about life at the University. It's always worth keeping an eye on it. This home page acts as a directory or index of all the resources available on campus and also contains links to web servers around Australia and overseas. Selecting the Current Student Homepage link will take you to the student information webpage. You access information and navigate around the Web using a mouse to point and click on underlined text called hyperlinks, or, more commonly, links.
Links connect separate documents by their Internet address.
Web servers work by transferring the documents from the server to your computer. Each document is accessed by its unique address, called a URL - Uniform Resource Locator. If you know the URL of a web page, then rather than stepping through many pages to find it, you can connect to the information resource by specifying the URL in the Open Location or Open URL option in the File menu. Browsers in computer labs should be configured to open at the University's home page. Selecting this link will take you to an index of Faculty and Departmental home pages.
