Webstractor citation

Last class we discussed such applications as SnagIt and SnapzPro. Here's an interesting option for Mac OSX users. I'm busy trying to find a similar product for Windows machines. "Maximize Your Web productivity: Everyone knows the web is full of useful information, but all that research can soon get out of control. Webstractor helps you find exactly what you need online and then lets you edit out all the things you don’t need offline, creating stunningly effective documents using standard word processing tools. Try it once and you’ll wonder how you managed without it." For Library Media Teachers and other information professionals this type of application will be a real time saver. I don't ever recommend purchases but I do suggest you check this item out.

Saving all or part(s) of a webpage

In an early chapter of our text we'll be covering the concept of saving parts or all of a webpage. While the textbook is thorough and helpful I strongly suggest you use SnagIt 7.2 (at the moment)from www.softwarecasa.com if you use the Windows OS or SnapzProX2 from Ambrosia at www.ambrosiasw.com. For casual users the textbook examples are just fine; however, for professional library/media professionals I believe you'll need a more robust application. In any case be sure to check them out when you have time.

IMAP, POP, SMTP & HTTP

As we study email you will come across a number of acronyms about email protocols. This article explains them as well as any site I've found. These terms could well be on the final for this class and more importantly be vital in your day to day work.
