Blaine High School Library Internet Tutorial

WELCOME!



This Internet Explorer tutorial introduces you to basic tools where you can find information while in Blaine High School library, including using the library catalog and the internet.

When you complete this tutorial, you will be given an internet user agreement to take home. You sign it, a parent or guardian signs it, and Mr. Bacon signs it.  If you do not return the agreement in one week, you will be denied computer access throughout the high school, and you will lose 25 points from your score on this orientation.


Your Library Network Account:
Logging In and Out, Opening and Saving Files

Every new student will be given a library account that allows you to save files on any Mac or Dell in the library.  Any information found in your account’s files is considered yours.  You must use your account and no one else’s.  If someone else is found using your account, both you and the person using your account will not be able to use the internet for a week for the first offense, then the semester, and then the third consequence is for the entire year.

When you are finished using either the Dells or the Macs, you must log out (not shut down) or the next user will be unable to access their account. 

Knowing how to save files on both the Dells and the Macs is critical.  You must be sure that the file is being saved to your documents folder on the server and not to the desktop of the computer you are currently using.  If you save to the desktop of the computer you are using, the saved file cannot be accessed from any other computer but the one you saved it to.  

On both the Dell computers and the Macs, save to the folder named Documents.

On the Dells, save to the folder Documents but NEVER to the folder My documents.  My documents is a folder on the local computer, meaning you have to use that same computer to access files saved under My documents.
