Specific Setup Information
In April 1998 the Metro Net libraries collaborated on a project to improve and standardize the directions handed out for setting up home computers. These directions include numerous screen shots, standardized terminology, and integration with an online Welcome Center that explains topics in greater detail.

You may obtain a copy of Specific Setup Information online (see below), in the library, or through the mail by contacting your local library.

In order to view the documents online, you will need to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or later installed on your machine. To select the most appropriate directions be certain you have correctly identified your system.
