J.E. & L.E. Mabee Library

How to use dial-up services to access the library electronic resources.

This service is only available to currently enrolled UIW students, faculty, and staff. Authorized users must have a PC with a modem running the MS Windows 95© operating system (or later), preferably running Netscape Navigator 4.01© or later.

NOTE: Steps #1 through #6 need only be done the first time. Once you have successfully created a new dial-up networking connection to UIW, you should begin thereafter with step #7.

1. Click on the My Computer icon (though you may have renamed yours).
