I don't have a text.
Can I get a list of links?
You need a sciLINKS text to use the service in
its entirety.
Try these sample codes to view the site: he084
(temperate forests); he100 (lakes and savannas);
he140 (ocean pollution); hw116 (alternative fuels);
hw182 (nuclear reactions: fission).
What textbooks feature sciLINKS?
For a complete list of publishers and titles please
see our sciLINKed
Title page.
I have registered,
but my password doesn't work...
There are a few reasons why your user name or password
might not work:
- User name and password are case-sensitive.
Please make sure you are entering them EXACTLY
as you entered them when you registered.
- Do you have your browser set to accept cookies?
sciLINKS uses cookies to provide information.
If turned off, it won't remember who you are,
so it can't provide that info.
- If coming in from a network (as opposed to
a dial-up Internet Service Provider), does
your network allow cookies? Contact your Network
administrator to find out.
If none of these applies to your situation, please
zip us a note that describes the problem you are
experiencing along with your browser version and
operating system.
What is the “Activity
Report”?
 The
Activity Report allows teachers (or parents) to
track student use of sciLINKS. The report lists
the sciLINKS numbers entered by each student,
as well as the external Web pages visited.
Registration is essential for the Activity Report
to function. A teacher/parent must register and
provide his or her User Name to the students.
The students must then register, and during registration
must enter their teacher’s User Name. If
students happen to register before their teacher,
they can click on “Update Your User Information”
at a later time and add their teacher’s User
Name.
Only registered teacher/parents, logging in as
such and entering their unique passwords, can
gain access to the online Activity Report, and
they can view the sciLINKS activity of their own
students only.
When I click on a
link Batman138, the new browser window is too small. Can I resize
it and move it?
Yes: grab any edge of the browser window by moving
the mouse pointer over it, pressing the mouse
button, and holding it down; now drag the edge
to make the window larger or smaller. If you grab
the lower right corner of the window, you can
move the right and bottom edges at the same time.
To move the whole window, click in the colored
bar at the top of the window and, keeping the
button down, drag the window to where you want
it.
You can maximize the new window to fill your entire
screen by clicking on the middle button at the
upper right of the window; but we recommend that
you resize the window, leaving some of the sciLINKS
window visible. This will remind you to close
the second window when you’re done. (Having
multiple browser windows uses up more of your
computer’s resources. If you have too many
browser windows—or other applications—open,
you may find your computer behaving oddly, or
processing requests more slowly; it may even lock
up.)
I have a question
that’s not covered here …
Send your question to [email protected].
If you are having a problem getting sciLINKS to
work correctly, please be sure to tell us which
browser you are using (including the version number)
and your operating system (e.g., Windows 95, Macintosh
OS 7).
