  • Search the Internet  -  Use the long white bar above. Type and hit the "Enter" key. 
  • Search for Library items  -  Use the blue Catalog search tab. Click "Go."
  • Back up your work  -  Work saved on this computer's hard drive is deleted after your session. Save to the Cloud or to an external flash drive. (Purchase a flash drive at the checkout desk for $4.)
  • Save often  -  Power outages or shut downs can happen without warning. 
  • Protect your data on public computers  -  Although any usernames, passwords, and files you save on this computer should automatically be wiped before the next person's session, we cannot 100% guarantee it. It's a good idea to delete files you've saved if they contain especially sensitive information.
