You need a Web browser that can handle forms, tables, and, preferably, one that can handle frames. This is a minimal configuration when browsing the Web. 3.0 or greater or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or greater. There are computers with Web clients available for your use in many locations in Cornell's libraries and public computer labs around campus. Interlibrary loan staff and other public services staff throughout the library system 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. Access the ILLiad system only from your personal computer or an otherwise secure workstation. Access the ILLiad system from a public workstation in the Interlibrary Loan office in the library. These computers are supervised by the library staff. Exit from the Web browser before you leave the workstation.
