Hands on the Web

If you've never explored the Internet using a graphical browser, here's your chance! Graphical browsers like Netscape open a window on the Web, allowing you to experience the many colors, textures, images, and even sounds of the Internet. But to experience the Web graphically requires hardware and software we know some of you don't have access to.

For that reason, the Undergraduate Library, located on the first floor of Capen Hall, is opening up one of its state-of-the-art computer instruction facilities to faculty, staff, and students to access UB Wings and the Libraries Web during selected hours beginning the week of September 25th. Come see for yourself what the new Wings looks like and explore the vast array of Internet resources we've been telling you about-all in a fully graphical environment! The setting is informal. Librarians will be on hand to assist you, but if you feel more comfortable exploring on your own, you're welcome to do so.

Tour the White House, view the latest photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope, or pore over fragments of the Dead Sea scrolls. It's your opportunity to take in the "sights" of the Internet!

Please note that the facility, Room 127 of the Undergraduate Library, will be available during selected week-day hours beginning the week of September 25th. Look for posted hours at the entrance to UGL, near the UGL Reference Desk, and next to the UGL Internet Information Rack.

For more information about exploring the Web at the Undergraduate Library, contact the UGL Reference Desk at 645-2945. The URL for the UB Libraries Web is http://wings.buffalo.edu/libraries or type wings at your system prompt and select "Libraries."
