Navigating around a Web page

Some of the text on the page may be links to other pages or documents.

Move the mouse cursor over the screen, the cursor will change from an arrow to a hand with a pointing finger when you are over a link.

This cursor change indicates that you are over a link, and that clicking the left mouse button will take you to another page.  Look at the bottom left-hand end of the Status Bar and you will see the address the link is pointing to.

Click on Academic Departments and then click on your own department’s link to go to its Home Page.

You may see some more links in some cases links will be shown as underlined text or with the text coloured blue (which is the most frequently used colour).  Sometimes, pictures or icons can also be links. 

When the cursor is over a link, it will change in appearance from an arrow to a hand with a pointing finger.

Click on some of the links on the department Home Page you have chosen.  Many staff put photographs of themselves on these pages, which may be useful if you are new to the University.  Use either the Scroll Bars or the Page Up and Page Down keys to view the contents of each page.
