Top Ten Internet TIPS
1. Domain
A domain is the name and type of site you use. For
example: lmcint.com Is a commercial domain, with lmcint representing
our name (LMC International). Another example of a domain is royalbank.com.
Other common domains are:
***.com commercial, for profit organizations.
***.edu educational institutions
***.gov government
***.int international organizations (i.e. NATO)
***.mil U.S. military sites
***.org other organizations (i.e. non-profit organizations)
***.ca Canada
***.on.ca Ontario, Canada
There are many others and you will become familiar
with them as you continue to surf the Internet.
2. Search Engine
A tool that allows you to search the Internet for
specific topics of interest. They contain references to common subject
areas that you can point-and-click to connect to other links, that
connect to other links, and so on. Some of the more popular search
engines are "Web Crawler", "Yahoo", and "Alta Vista".
3. % of hits in searches
Most search engines (i.e. Yahoo, Alta Vista, Web Crawler)
provide you with a percentage of relevance to your search. i.e.
if you are searching for a list of HR Associations, Yahoo may show
a 78% relevance on one site and a 45% relevance on another site
listed.
4. Back/Forward
As you maneuver around the Internet you can go back
to the previous screen by clicking once on the Back button at the
top left hand corner of the program. You can also go forward by
clicking on the Forward button (next to the Back button).
5. Hyperlinks
Text which is often seen in blue and underlined, that
jumps you to a different site on the WWW when you click on it. Also
referred to as Typertext or Links. Note: the color of the text will
change once you have visited that site.
6. Bookmark
Also referred to as "Hot List" or "Favourites". Storing
a site you visit to a list, allowing you to then revisit that site
quickly (avoiding re-typing the address). When you reach a site
you know you want to revisit, click on Bookmark (or Favourites),
then click on Add. When you want to see that site again, click on
the word Bookmark/Favourites in the menu bar at the top of your
screen, then select the site from the list.
7. URL
Also referred to as a Uniform Resource Locator.
Quite simply, it is an address. An example is http://www.lmcint.com
(LMC International Inc.'s homepage).
8. Graphics
Some sites give you the option to view the site as
Text Only. If you find it takes too long for images/home pages to
come up on your screen, you can turn off the graphics by clicking
on Text Only. This will make your browsing faster, but not as pretty.
9. Reload
If you find it takes too long to get into a site,
you can stop transmission by clicking on the Stop button at the
top. Then click on Reload to try getting into that site again. Sometimes
transmission can be hindered by a problem with the telephone lines.
10. Boolean logic
A system used for searching information on the Internet
using and combining terms or symbols such as AND, OR, NOT, +, and
-.
i.e. If you are searching for HR Associations you
can type in "HR +Associations" (without the quotes). Note: there
is no space between the + sign and the word Associations. If you
are interested in only Canadian HR Associations you can type "HR
+Associations +Canadian". Again, this is typed without the quotes.
