Semester Newsgroups and Class Library Accounts Newsgroup Newsgroups provide a way to post class announcements and hold discussions between instructors, teaching assistants and students. Netscape Navigator allows posting and reading graphics and other non-text files as MIME attachments to newsgroup articles. Class Library A class library provides a place to store files to be used by a class, such as programs or data, or a WWW homepage for the class. Use of a class library requires some knowledge of UNIX directories and permissions.
Libraries are temporary space and are deleted after the semester ends.
