This ninety-minute lesson offers an introduction to the Internet and World Wide Web, and provides hands-on training to help you begin using the Internet to locate information. Students participating in this lesson will learn: • the Internet browser and its components • website addresses and menus • search engines & web directories • tips for verifying website credibility • how to print information off the web • tips for Internet security The Internet can be used for many purposes: to locate information, communicate, manage finances, purchase goods and services, or to be simply entertained by music, movies, and games. The full capacity of what can be achieved using the Internet is of course dependent upon the technology included or added to a computer. At the Kitsap Regional Library there are many things you can do on the computers once connected to the Internet, for example you can: • browse the World Wide Web • use a Search Engine to find a website • access the library’s electronic resources • send Electronic Mail (or E-mail) • shop for online goods and services • read the daily news • access your bank account • submit online applications for employment, school, volunteer etc..

Kitsap Regional Library January 2007 5 Website Addresses The Uniform Resource Locator http://www.krl.org Each website on the web is identified by a unique Domain Name. And each web page within a site is named to provide a specific access address. This address is known as a URL (Uniform Address Locator). For example, the KRL website address is http://www.krl.org http:// (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) The Protocol used to transfer data over the Internet. A website address usually begins with the http, but it is not necessary to enter it into the address bar when searching for a website. www (World Wide Web) The www identifies the document as one that is published on the World Wide Web utilizing html as the computer language. In the past it was fundamental to include www when entering an address into the address bar, but as the Internet has progressed it is now becoming less necessary. “Every computer on the Internet has a unique address called its "IP address" (Internet Protocol address). Because IP addresses (which are strings of numbers) are hard to remember, the DNS (Domain Name System) allows a familiar string of letters (the "domain name") to be used instead. So rather than typing "192.0.34.163," you can type (its domain name) www.icann.org” Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers A domain name includes an identifier of the entity that owns the domain (“KRL”) and an extension that describes the type of entity. There are two types of Domain Extensions: generic and country codes. The following are examples of generic Domain Extensions. These first three are restricted to educational, government, and military entities. .edu – education (University of Washington www.washington.edu/ ) .gov – government (Access Washington http://access.wa.gov/ ) .mil – military (US Navy http://www.navy.mil/ ) And the following three are open to any person or entity wishing to register. .org – organization (http://www.npr.org ) .com – commercial (Costco http://www.costco.com/ ) .net – network provider (Comcast http://www.comcast.net/home.html ) The following are examples of country code Domains: .uk – United Kingdom (BBC News http://news.bbc.co.uk/ ) .ca – Canada (The Atlas of Canada http://atlas.gc.ca/ ) .fr – France (The Louvre http://www.louvre.fr/ ) CLICK! Kitsap Regional Library January 2007 6 Search Engines and Web Directories Search Engine A search engine is a tool that allows a person to search for websites by entering key words into a search box. Search engines use “crawler-based technology” to match your keywords with webpages indexed by the search engine. The crawler-based technology relies on “computer spiders” to locate matching text using carefully engineered algorithms. Two popular search engines used today: Google www.google.com Yahoo www.yahoo.com To access these search engines from the library’s home page, click on the Search the Web link. Here you will see a list of search engines. Web Directory A web directory is a collection of websites evaluated and categorized by human beings. Each website in a web directory has been evaluated and classified by individuals working for that particular company or organization. Below is a list of three popular web directories used today: Google Directory http://www.google.com/dirhp Yahoo Directory http://search.yahoo.com/ (then click on link to directory) DMOZ Directory http://www.dmoz.org/ To aid you in your search for information on the web, the librarians at Kitsap Regional Library have put together several web directories. Links to the following directories can be found on the KRL Home Page: Research Corner Find Local Information Small Business Tools Kidstuff Movie and Music Lovers Further Questions Information found under the Ask a Librarian link, also located on the library’s Home page, provides library patrons with the opportunity to ask reference librarians questions through email. The KRL librarians have also compiled answers to Frequently Asked Questions under this same link CLICK! Kitsap Regional Library January 2007 7 Website Credibility When evaluating a website, here are some questions to ask to determine the credibility of the information found on the website: Authority • Who is responsible for the site? An individual, a business, an organization? • Is there an About Us link or Author listed? • Is there a Contact Us link that provides a phone number and/or physical address of the business, individual, or organization? What type of web site is it? • What is its Top Level Domain? The domains .edu, .gov, and .mil are restricted top level domains, any others have unrestricted registration. Restricted Registration Open to Anyone .edu = educational .org = organization .gov = government .net = network/utilities .mil = military .com = commercial Accuracy • Is the information correct? • If you’re unsure, where could you find more information about the particular topic? Currency • When was the web site created or updated last? • Do the links work? • Are the links up-to-date? Most websites post copyright dates at the bottom of their Home Page. An automated date does not indicate when the information was last updated. For example, many news sites automatically post the current date and time. Objectivity • Why was the site created? • Is its goal to sell? Examples: www.amazon.com; www.ebay.com; • To persuade? Examples: corner.nationalreview.com • To advocate an agenda? Example: www.whitehouse.org • To inform? www.access.wa.gov CLICK! Kitsap Regional Library January 2007 8 Internet Security It’s wise to be cautious about security when using the Internet. The following websites offer guidelines for Internet users. American Bar Association Security Tips http://www.safeshopping.org/security.shtml National Cyber Security Alliance http://www.staysafeonline.info/ Protecting your personal information: • Do not reply to an e–mail or a pop–up message that asks for personal or financial information. • When sharing confidential information, look for the padlock symbol in the lower right corner of the web page and the “https://” denotation in the web page address. This designates a secure site and means that information will be encrypted for your protection. • Don’t open e–mail attachments from unknown senders. To be safe, delete e-mail from unknown sources, without opening the e-mail. • Don’t click on any link in an unexpected message. Establishing passwords: • Use a combination of letters and numbers, even special characters if they’re allowed. They need to be easy to remember, but not something that can be guessed such as names, words, dates. • Change passwords regularly. • Don’t share your passwords. • Use different passwords for each site, or follow a tiered approach, using 3- 5 passwords: • Most secure for banking • Least secure for public forums • Levels in between as needed CLICK! Kitsap Regional Library January 2007 9 Printing Tips General Information Library users can print many kinds of documents from the library computers. Most often users are looking to print E-mails, web documents, catalog information, and articles found on the subscription databases. The computer terminals in each branch typically print to one large printer located near these public terminals.

  • Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-By-Step Guide
    Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-by-Step Guide Note: Completing the Mouse Tutorial and Mousercise exercise which are available on the Class Resources webpage constitutes the first part of this lesson. ABOUT PROGRAMS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS Any time a task is performed on a computer, it is done through a program. For the user, the program is the application – the tool – for accomplishing a task. For the computer, it is a set of instructions on knowing how to perform this task. Examples of programs include Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word. The most important program overall is the operating system, which manages all of the computer’s resources and decides how to treat input from the user. There are several different operating systems in circulation, such as Mac O/S and Linux. However, far and away, the most commonly-used operating system is Microsoft Windows. (Note that Microsoft is just the name of the company that makes Windows, and that there are several versions of Windows. In 2012 all the computers in the lab were updated to the version of Windows called Windows 7. If you have some experience with the older versions of Windows you will notice that things look a bit different on a computer running Windows 7. THE WINDOWS 7 ENVIRONMENT The Desktop The first thing you see when you log on to the computer is the DESKTOP. The Desktop is the display area you see when Windows opens. The following items are the most common items that can be found on the desktop: Mouse pointer Icons Shortcuts to Storage drives Notification Start Button Taskbar tray Show Desktop/Peek button Andrea Philo September 2012 Page 1 of 13 Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-by-Step Guide Parts of the Windows 7 Desktop Icon: A picture representing a program or file or places to store files.

  • Google Toolbar for Enterprise Admin Guide
    Google Toolbar for Enterprise Admin Guide ● Introduction ● Technical Overview ● Downloading the Software ● Configuring the Group Policies ❍ Preferences ❍ Enterprise Integration ❍ Custom Buttons ❍ Popup Whitelist ● Defining Custom Buttons ● Pushing Out the Policy to User Registries ● Installing Google Toolbar on User Machines Introduction back to top This document contains information about setting up Google Toolbar for Enterprise. Google Toolbar is an end-user application that adds a search bar and other useful web tools to the Internet Explorer browser window. Google Toolbar for Enterprise makes it easy to provide enterprise users with the Google Toolbar and to create standards for its use. The document was written for Windows domain administrators. As an administrator, you can install and configure Google Toolbar for all users. By defining enterprise-wide policies for Google Toolbar, you can decide which buttons and features users can access. For example, you could remove the feature that saves search history, whitelist certain pages to exempt them from the popup blocker, or prevent users from sending votes to Google about their favorite web pages . You can configure policies before installing Google Toolbar for the users, or at any subsequent time. Google Toolbar also provides the ability to create custom buttons that display specified pages, direct searches to predefined systems, or display information from an RSS feed. Using Google Toolbar for Enterprise, you can define buttons for all users, using data from your own network or from the Internet. For example, you could create a custom button that directs a user's search to your Google Search Appliance or Google Mini to display a corporate web page or show important phone numbers from your intranet.

  • Build Lightning Fast Web Apps with HTML5 and SAS® Allan Bowe, SAS Consultant
    1091-2017 Build Lightning Fast Web Apps with HTML5 and SAS® Allan Bowe, SAS consultant ABSTRACT What do we want? Web applications! When do we want them? Well.. Why not today? This author argues that the key to delivering web apps ‘lightning fast’ can be boiled down to a few simple factors, such as: • Standing on the shoulders (not the toes) of giants. Specifically, learning and leveraging the power of free / open source toolsets such as Google’s Angular, Facebook’s React.js and Twitter Bootstrap • Creating ‘copy paste’ templates for web apps that can be quickly re-used and tweaked for new purposes • Using the right tools for the job (and being familiar with them) By choosing SAS as the back end, your apps will benefit from: • Full blown analytics platform • Access to all kinds of company data • Full SAS metadata security (every server request is metadata validated) By following the approach taken in this paper, you may well find yourself in possession of an electrifying capability to deliver great content and professional-looking web apps faster than one can say “Usain Bolt”. AUDIENCE This paper is aimed at a rare breed of SAS developer – one with both front end (HTML / Javascript) and platform administration (EBI) experience. If you can describe the object of object arrays, the object spawner and the Document Object Model – then this paper is (objectionably?) for you! INTRODUCTION You are about to receive a comprehensive overview of building Enterprise Grade web applications with SAS. Such a framework will enable you to build hitherto unimaginable things.

  • The Desktop (Overview)
    The desktop (overview) The desktop is the main screen area that you see after you turn on your computer and log on to Windows. Like the top of an actual desk, it serves as a surface for your work. When you open programs or folders, they appear on the desktop. You can also put things on the desktop, such as files and folders, and arrange them however you want. The desktop is sometimes defined more broadly to include the taskbar and Windows Sidebar. The taskbar sits at the bottom of your screen. It shows you which programs are running and allows you to switch between them. It also contains the Start button , which you can use to access programs, folders, and computer settings. On the side of the screen, Sidebar contains small programs called gadgets. The desktop, taskbar, and Sidebar Where did my desktop go? Because programs run on top of the desktop, the desktop itself is often partially or completely hidden. But it's still there, underneath everything. To see the whole desktop without closing any of your open programs or windows, click the Show Desktop button on the taskbar. The desktop is revealed. Click the icon again to restore all of your windows to the way they were. Desktop Training Session Handout Page 1 http://ict.maxwell.syr.edu/vista/ Working with desktop icons Icons are small pictures that represent files, folders, programs, and other items. When you first start Windows, you'll see at least one icon on your desktop: the Recycle Bin (more on that later).

  • The Early Years of Academic Computing: L a Memoir by Douglas S
    03 G A The Early Years of Academic Computing: L A Memoir by Douglas S. Gale E This is from a collection of reflections/memoirs concerning the early years of academic comput- ing, emphasizing the period when Cornell developed its own decentralized computing environ- ments and networking became a national strategic goal. ©2016 Henrietta Gale Initial Release: April 2016 (Increment 01) Second Release: April 2017 (Increments 02-04) Published by The Internet-First University Press Copy editor and proofreader: Dianne Ferriss The entire incremental book is openly available at http://hdl.handle.net/1813/36810 Books and Articles Collection – http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/63 The Internet-First University Press – http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/62 C. Memoir by Douglas S. Gale Preface and Introduction Bill Arms and Ken King have chronicled much of the early history of academic computing. Accordingly, I have tried to focus my contribution to The Early Years of Academic Computing on topics less covered by King and Arms. My contribution is organized into four chronological periods, roughly spanning the last 50 years of the 20th century, and each has an organizational theme: career transitions, the microcomputer revolution, the networking revolution, and the changing role of academic computing and networking. The theme of the first period -- career transitions -- will consider where the early practitioners of academic computing came from. Computer Science was first recognized as an academic discipline in 1962, and the early years of academic computing were led by people who had received their academic training in other disciplines. Many, if not most, came from the community of computer users and early adopters.

  • Webbrowser Webpages
    Web Browser A web browser, or simply "browser," is an application used to access and view websites. Common web browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. The primary function of a web browser is to render HTML, the code used to design or "markup" web pages. Each time a browser loads a web page, it processes the HTML, which may include text, links, and references to images and other items, such as cascading style sheets and JavaScript functions. The browser processes these items, then renders them in the browser window. Early web browsers, such as Mosaic and Netscape Navigator, were simple applications that rendered HTML, processed form input, and supported bookmarks. As websites have evolved, so have web browser requirements. Today's browsers are far more advanced, supporting multiple types of HTML (such as XHTML and HTML 5), dynamic JavaScript, and encryption used by secure websites. The capabilities of modern web browsers allow web developers to create highly interactive websites. For example, Ajax enables a browser to dynamically update information on a webpage without the need to reload the page. Advances in CSS allow browsers to display a responsive website layouts and a wide array of visual effects. Cookies allow browsers to remember your settings for specific websites. While web browser technology has come a long way since Netscape, browser compatibility issues remain a problem. Since browsers use different rendering engines, websites may not appear the same across multiple browsers. In some cases, a website may work fine in one browser, but not function properly in another.
