How To Use The Site
The Home Page
The Menu featured on the Home Page is a mouse-over
menu. What this means is that when you move the pointer over
one of the headings (About Earlham; Academics, etc.),
you will see a secondary menu display that contains links associated
with the heading you have selected.
Please Note:
The headings in the menu are NOT links,
as one can differentiate by moving the pointer to the sub-menu
where the arrow will become a hand/index finger. The index-finger
pointer indicates a link in all supported browsers and operating
systems.
To use the Google search function, simply select whether you wish
to search Earlham's
site or the entire Web, enter your search text and press "Search" (or press the return key on your keyboard).
Earlham News Player
The News Player is a JavaScript scroller that functions much like a standard
VCR or DVD player.
Press the "Play" button to start the scroller moving. Press the "Pause" button
to stop scrolling, allowing you to read a particular story of interest or to
click on a link. (Links may also be clicked as the scroller moves.) Press "Rewind" to
scroll backwards if you have scrolled too far. Finally, press "Start
Over" to start again from the beginning.
In trying
to accommodate the wants and needs of regular visitors to the site,
we have put this feature in to keep some of the originality of the previous
Home Page as well as allow space to provide the news stories and announcements
they've grown to expect. The News Player is where you will find important
information including: weather and security issues; sporting events; musical
and theatrical performances; student, faculty, and alumni profiles; and other
Earlham happenings.
The Site Index is simply an alphabetical listing of all non-personal Web pages
associated with the Earlham College Web site. It lists links to departments,
offices, units, programs, documents, and items of special interest. It does
not list names of individual persons employed by the college. Most names and
e-mail links can be found on our pages of Teaching Faculty and Administrative
Faculty.
The bottom of the Home Page lists the College address, the phone numbers for
Admissions and the switchboard, and the e-mail address to contact the Web Team.
The webeditor@earlham.edu e-mail
link at the bottom of the page, as well as the Web
Services site, is directed to a central e-mail queue allowing all members
of the Web Team to access these messages. This provides the most efficient
communication to the team and allows for the quickest response to your questions
and comments.
This link directs the visitor to the College's Web posted copyright
information.
