1.
Open your word processing program (Word, Works, WordPerfect, etc.) and type your
paper. When you have finished the paper, edit it in the word processing program.
Perform spelling and grammar checks as you wish.
2. When you
have completed editing and checking your paper, save a copy on a disk or
on your hard drive.
3. After you have saved a copy of your
completed paper, you should select and copy all of the text.
To
select and copy the text in Microsoft Word:
a. On the tool bar, use your mouse
to pull down the drop-down menu under "Edit".
b. From
this menu, choose "Select All" by clicking on this command with
your mouse. (You can also choose this command without pulling down the Edit
menu by typing Ctrl + A.) After you choose this command, your entire
paper should appear highlighted on your screen.
c. When your paper is completely
highlighted, pull down the "Edit" menu again and choose "Copy"
by clicking this command with your mouse. (You can also choose this command without
pulling down the Edit menu by typing Ctrl + C.)
4. After you have copied your paper, use the "Minus"
box (the box with a flat line in it) in the upper right corner of the screen to
shrink your word processing program.
5. Make sure your computer is connected
to the Internet, and then launch your preferred browser (Netscape, Explorer).
6. Go to CST ERes from the CST Library's homepage by clicking on
"Library" and then "E-Res Elctronic Reserves".
7. At the ERes welcome screen, click "Electronic
Reserves & Reserve Pages". Then use one of the search tabs to locate
your course by number, instructor or department. To search, type the course number
or click on your instructor's name in the pull-down list. Then click "Search".
8. Course numbers will appear that match your search. Click on the blue
"Course Number" to open the course page.
9.
Log into the course site by typing the password for your course page in the password
box and clicking "Accept". The password should come from
your professor or T.A..
10. When you are on the course page, click on the
tab at the center-top of the page to enter the area where the group
folders for each week's posting are located.
11. Scroll down to the folder
for your week and group. Click on the "blue link"
for your week/group folder.
12. When you are in your week/group folder,
click on the "Add a New Thread" button at
the top of the window.
13. When the posting form is displayed, fill in
"Name" with your name, "Email"
with your email address, and "Title" with the title or subject
heading for your paper. You can move between these fields by pushing the "tab"
key or by clicking inside the field you want to go to with your mouse. Note: If
your email address is not complete, you will not be able to save the posting.
14. After you have filled in the necessary fields, place your cursor in
the large white "Message" box by hitting the tab key
or clicking inside the field with your mouse.
15. When your cursor is in
the "Message" box, you should paste your paper
text in the box by pulling down the "Edit" menu and clicking
on "Paste" or by typing Ctrl + V. Now the text
of your paper should appear in the message box. (It is a good idea to use the
scroll bar on the side of the Message box to return to the beginning of your paper
so that you can be sure that everything is correct before you complete the posting
process.)
When you are satisfied that your paper has been successfully
copied into the "Message" box, click on the
"Save" button to actually post your paper. You will be returned
to your discussion group page. Your posting now appears in the list. Note: If
your email address is not complete, you will not be able to save the posting.

To return to the list of discussion groups, click the blue words
"Discussion Boards" at the top of the list of postings.

link next to your name. To view someone else's paper, go to their week and group,
and click on the "Title" link for that paper.
18. To reply
to a posted paper, click on the link to open the paper, then click "Post
a Reply" button. Fill in the posting form as you did for your own paper,
and click "Save".
