We wanted to share a few tips to improve your online research experience.
- Use Internet Explorer (IE) or Firefox browser. These two are the most stable and compatible with library research databases. If you don't have Firefox, it is a free download on the Web at http://www.mozilla.com.
- Take advantage of your Links bar (IE) /Bookmarks Toolbar Folder (Firefox). This gives you quick access to your favorite websites. You can even create folders for your links on the toolbar.
- Be sure you have Adobe Reader on your computer. This free download is the best pdf reader to use. Although Macs have a reader called Preview, we have found that Adobe Reader has better results. Just go to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
- Always talk to a librarian for help with your particular situation. We spend all our time finding better ways to do research and we love to share our discoveries.
