Research Workstation - info and notes

Sending email from the pcs: Since we have now reconfigured all our 'public pcs' to the more restricted browser settings, commercial email sites will not be accessible. However emailing citations, articles, etc. is still possible using the file --> send function of the browser. This will open the Microsoft email form that can be used to send the item. Please mention to anyone using this that if they filter their email the message could end up in their junk mail folder. If they can't find the message they should look in the junk folder. Answering the inevitable questions about why we've changed our pcs: Those machines have been reconfigured to a somewhat more restrictive setting in order to better serve the needs of our primary user population. If there is a particular _research-related_ resource that you wish to use that you cannot connect to from those machines, please let us know the name or URL of that resource and we will explore making it accessible. If someone comes to one of you with such a request, take down the name or URL of the resource, the name and contact info (an e-mail address) of the person placing the request, and forward it to Julie C. and we WILL try to make the resource accessible if it is a request for something engineering-related (defined reasonably broadly) that we feel should justifiably be added to the Digital Registry. Who determines what's reasonable/justifiable? Julie, and if she's unsure about something, me. (Mel)
