Morton Library Catalog Tutorial

 

Video Tutorials


The video files on this page offer you another way
to learn the basics of our Morton Library online catalog. The most complete information is found in our text-based tutorial. But if you prefer to listen to audio instructions and watch a demonstration, you may benefit from viewing these short animated lessons.

Each lesson is presented in two formats: a quick-downloading file, and a more elaborate file with playback controls. Both files require that you have Macromedia Flash installed on your computer. Flash is available as a free download at http://www.adobe.com/downloads. You will need speakers or headphones to listen to the audio portion of the recordings.

If you have a dial-up or DSL connection to the internet, we recommend that you choose the quick-downloading files. If you have a high-speed broadband connection, choose the full file with playback controls. Both files present the same information.
