Using Information Technology
Starting points for finding helpful resources on using information
technology. Since the WEB is always changing, some of these links
may have disappeared or been significantly modified since being placed
on the list. This list is a tool for starting searches and is not
meant to be the definitive set of useful locations.
Sample Courses
Useful Links
- Search Tip
- If one of the following links returns an error message,
instead of the web page you wanted, it may be that the web site
has been updated and the URL for the page has been changed. Here
is a simple strategy for finding the missing page. Near the top
of the browser is the web site address you were trying to reach.
Delete the last portion of the address up to the first slash mark.
Try going to that location instead. If that returns an error message,
delete more of the address as before. The goal is to get to a
root page at the web site that will allow you to find the new
link to the information you want. In addition, you may find lots
of new and useful information at that site you were not even aware
existed!
