2. Email in the labs: I've had several conversations with people in User Services about email in the labs. The consensus seems to be that there isn't really a good way to use Outlook in the labs! They're suggesting that people just use Pine, which means that you can't do attachments from the labs. (It's possible to set Outlook up for use in the labs, but it leads to various problems, and seems to be more trouble than it's worth.) This situation should improve by next Fall.
3. Future assignments: I will assign a lab in connection with Chris Nolan's visit. I'll provide details later, but I wall ask you to search the web for information on a topic of interest to you, perhaps something you need to research for another class. I will ask you to find five to ten sources, including at least one excellent source and at least one complete turkey. I will also ask you to write an evaluation of each site, making use of the criteria discussed by Chris Nolan. The results should be written up in the form of a web page, with links to the sources you are discussing.
4. Disappearing folders: One student this morning was puzzled that if she opened her folder on TUCC 8 and then closed it, it disappeared from view. This is because Windows NT for some reason places folders that have been opened at the end of the alphabetical listing. If this happens to you, check at the end of the list and your folder should be there. (Or close the window containing the folders; when reopened it should again display them in alphabetical order.)
I won't review all the points made in class. Most of the material covered in class (and some other material as well) is covered in the web site I mentioned, the NCSA Beginner's Guide to HTML. This site also has links to more advanced treatments.
However, you should be familiar with the following topics. These
should be in your notes from class; if not, you can look them up in the
guide mentioned above (or find another introductory treatment of HTML either
on the web or in a book). We discussed:
