You need a Web browser that can handle forms, tables, and, preferably, one that can handle frames. We recommend either Netscape Navigator version 4.6 or greater or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or greater. Netscape Navigator is also available for several types of UNIX, and Internet Explorer is available for Solaris. There are computers with Web clients available for your use in many locations in the Library, including the Central and North Reading Rooms. Public service staff throughout the library can assist you in using these computers.
Web browsers cache information and create a history file on the local workstation.
This allows a subsequent user of the workstation to access the system under your name using the browser's Back button to recall a page from the cache, or by finding a page with your personal information in the browser's history file. OR Exit from the Web browser before you leave the workstation. This prevents the Back button from accessing the pages you were working with. Many libraries ship photocopies of articles to us in electronic format. In the past we printed these articles before delivering them to you.
