| 13 | This section provides basic information about interacting with the Librarian Interface.
|
|---|
| 14 | If you are familiar with programs such as Internet Explorer or Microsoft
|
|---|
| 15 | Office and are comfortable with mouse clicks and menus, skip to the <a href="howtoavoidthisdocument.htm#howtoavoidthisdocument">next section</a>.
|

|
|---|
| 17 | The Librarian Interface follows Microsoft Windows conventions and draws upon
|
|---|
| 18 | ordinary knowledge of Windows.
|
|---|
| 19 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 20 | Any part of the screen that you interact with, such as a button or text field,
|
|---|
| 21 | is called a "control". At any given time one control, called the "focus", is
|
|---|
| 22 | highlighted and responds to the keyboard. Several controls allow you to select
|
|---|
| 23 | parts that are highlighted in dark blue. Some controls are greyed out to
|
|---|
| 24 | indicate that they are disabled.
|
|---|
| 25 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 26 | You can move and left- or right-click the mouse in the usual way. Many
|
|---|
| 27 | components also allow you to "drag" them, by clicking and holding the left
|
|---|
| 28 | mouse button, move them with the mouse, and "drop" them elsewhere by releasing
|
|---|
| 29 | the button. Potential drop targets alter their appearance when a component
|
|---|
| 30 | hovers over them.
|
|---|
| 31 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 32 | You can use the keyboard to type into text fields. Keyboard alternatives are
|
|---|
| 33 | available for many controls, indicated by a key name in square brackets -- for
|
|---|
| 34 | example, [Tab] alters the focus. The plus sign shows if other keys must be
|
|---|
| 35 | pressed at the same time.
|
|---|
| 36 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 37 | Buttons, like menus, have one character underlined. To "click" the button,
|
|---|
| 38 | press [ALT] and the underlined character at the same time.
|
|---|
| 39 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 40 | To access a menu, hold down [ALT] and press the corresponding letter
|
|---|
| 41 | (underlined). For example, for the "File" menu press [ALT] + [F]. To choose an
|
|---|
| 42 | item, press the corresponding key. For example, while in the File menu
|
|---|
| 43 | press [S] to "Save" a collection.
|
|---|
| 44 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 45 | Exit the Librarian Interface program by choosing "Exit" from the "File"
|
|---|
| 46 | menu. Your collection will be saved first.
