Web pages are accessed using a client browser software program that translates hypertext markup language code into text, graphics, or multimedia. Examples of currently used browsers include NetscapeNavigator and Microsoft Explorer. Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer are referred to as graphical based browsers as they permit you to point and click on text and graphics as well.
Lynx is another browser but is a text based browser and is navigated using keyboard commands.
The CCM has installed Netscape Navigator on its computers in the Library. In addition you will need a computer that is multimedia ready. The default home page when you turn on your computer will be your web browser. Return to Introduction to Internet page.
