This internet based tutorial introduces you to important tools that will help you find information while using Blaine High School Library, including the catalog and databases.

Every new student will be given a library account that allows you to save files on any Mac or Dell in the library. Any information found in your account is considered yours. No one is to access your account but you. If someone else is found using your account, both you and the person using your account will not be able to use library computers for a week for the first offense, a month for the second offense, and the semester for the third offense.

This library has Dell computers and Mac computers. Saving files so you can access them on either type of computer is critical. You must save files to the folder on the server that will store your files and not to the computer you are typing on.

On the Dells, you must save files to the folder titled Documents, and not to the folder called My documents. If you save to the My documents folder, you will not be able to work on that file on a Mac.

Similarly, on a Mac, you must save to the Documents folder and not to the desktop or the house icon. If you save to the desktop, you will not find the file when using a Dell.
