Do I have to use Microsoft IE to view your WebDewey (and Abridged WebDewey) tutorial? And can I print it?

No, you do not have to use MS IE to view the tutorial; and yes, you can now print the tutorial (a page at a time). Our tutorials have recently been improved in a number of ways. They're easier to access, they load faster, and you can even print them. In a nutshell, the WebDewey tutorial was converted from Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to HTML. This means the individual HTML pages will display faster and, best of all, they will not need MS Java Virtual Machine or Sun Java Run Time Engine to work.

You can view the WebDewey tutorial, located at http://www.oclc.org/dewey/resources/tutorial/default.htm, with Microsoft IE 5.5 service pack 1 and above, Netscape Navigator 7.2 and above, or Firefox 1.0 (and other Mozilla-based browsers).

If you can disable your pop-up blockers, you can view the tutorial in a separate pop-up window, but you cannot print from that window.  If you cannot disable your pop-up blockers and still want to view the tutorial, or if you want to print the tutorial, you can open the tutorial in the same window as the launch page window (the window that contains the "Thank you for using OCLC tutorials" graphic).

1. Go to http://www.oclc.org/dewey/resources/tutorial/default.htm

2. Click the "View the tutorial" link to open the tutorial. (If the tutorial doesn't open immediately in a pop-up window, click on the link to the tutorial for your preferred browser. In other words, try launching the tutorial from the following links: for Microsoft® Internet Explorer, use http://www5.oclc.org/downloads/tutorials/webdewey/tutdewy/ie5/index.html and for Netscape Navigator, Firefox 1.0 and Mozilla browsers, use http://www5.oclc.org/downloads/tutorials/webdewey/tutdewy/ns7/index.html then go to step 5).

3. If you are viewing the tutorial in a pop-up window and want to print it, select "Exit tutorial" to close the tutorial so that only the "Thank you for using OCLC tutorials" page displays.

4. Scroll down the page and select the appropriate link listed on the launch page for the browser you're using (IE or others).

5. Use your browser's print feature to print one page at a time. (You will need to manually advance each page in the tutorial and print each page within your browser.)
