The Liberty menu is the key to electronic resources:
All
students and many faculty and staff have Liberty accounts, and
Liberty provides easy access to a broad spectrum of local and
remote resources. Basic skills are easily acquired, and
Reference Librarians and University Computing personnel will be
glad to assist with more complicated problems.
You can move through this lynx-based guide using
- the
TAB key (or DOWN ARROW) to go from one highlighted item ('link') to
the next;
- ENTER or RIGHT ARROW to 'open' a
highlighted link [try this one];
- SPACE
to move from one screen to the next;
- LEFT ARROW to go back to
the previous level;
- UP arrow to go up to a previous
link in the current document;
- q to QUIT lynx
You can e-mail a document to yourself while using lynx by hitting
the p
key ('print'), choosing the e-mail option, and typing an e-mail
address (viz: blackmer.h@wlu.edu) as the destination.
