Navigation
This tutorial currently consists of 5 major sections, each containing
several sub-sections. Each page of the tutorial provides three navigational
tools:
- At the top of the page is a navigation bar consisting of links to the
five main sections and the quiz. The label of the section you are working on appears
in orange and is not linked. Along the left side of each page are links
to the different sub-sections within each section to let you move directly
to a particular sub-section.
- Above the navigation bar on the right side of the screen is a link to the tutorial's home page.
- In the lower, righthand corner of the page are "next" and "back" links that you can
use to move back and forth throughout the pages. At the end of each section, you will see a link to the "Next
Section" indicating you have come to the end of one section and can continue on to the next.
- At the bottom of each page is another navigation bar. This bar includes
links to a detailed site map, a contact link
where you can email us with your questions or comments, and the library's
homepage.
Links within the Tutorial
Links are used throughout the tutorial, both to show internal references and to point to related information on other web sites. In order to avoid losing track of your place in the tutorial when you follow links, you need to understand a few things about the behavior of the links:
- In most cases, links that point to material within the tutorial appear in the current browser window. Use your browser's "Back" button or the tutorial's own navigation links to return to where you were.
- External links will open in a separate browser window (a new session),
in which case you can close the new browser window to return to where
you were.
