Getting Started
What is the Internet?
The Internet is a worldwide system of connected computers, and there is no one central
Internet computer. There are thousands of computers that create this online network
through the use modems and other kinds of online connections. When you use the
Internet, your computer (client) connects to a server. That server then allows you to talk
to other servers on the Internet and obtain information.
Here is a diagram that shows clients connecting to a server and servers connecting to
other servers. This diagram shows 12 client computers and 3 server computers, but the
Internet has millions of computers.
The World Wide Web (WWW) is part of the Internet. The World Wide Web is the group
of servers that present information to us in a special way that makes it easy to find what
we need. This is called HTML, Hypertext Markup Language.
Furthermore, when you want to locate information on the World Wide Web, you use a
browser. A browser is software that is used to locate and display Web pages. Popular
browsers here at The University of Akron are Internet Explorer and Netscape. This
manual details how to use the Internet Explorer browser.

Addresses
Using a URL
The address bar tells you where you are in the Internet. Furthermore, the location of the
site is called an address or URL, which is an acronym for Uniform Resource Locator.
The address is composed of three parts:
1. Protocol
2. Domain
3. Document Name
Document Name
Protocol
http://www.uakron.edu/ogc/11-08.html
Domain
Protocol: These are the rules that your computer and the computer that is storing the
document are using to communicate with one another. HTTP is an acronym for
hypertext transfer protocol. Other protocols seen frequently are HTTPS, hypertext
transfer protocol secure, and FTP, file transfer protocol. In our example, the protocol is
http.
Domain: This is the name of the computer or group of computers that is storing the
document that you are browsing. The last part of the domain name tells you what type of
entity owns the site. Edu is used by educational institutions. Com is used by commercial
entities, businesses. Gov is used by the government. Org is used by non-profit
organizations. In our example, the domain is uakron.edu.
Document Name: The folders, subfolders, and file name of the document that you are
browsing is given. In our example, the document is stored in the folder org. The
document name is 11-08.html.

How to Use the Address Bar
The Address bar is just one way to navigate to a Web site. Hyperlinks will be covered in
the next lesson.
Steps
1. Click inside the Address bar with the mouse.
2. Delete the current URL.
3. Type the URL that you want and press the Enter key. If you are entering the address of a
Web page, you do not have to type the http://. Internet Explorer assumes that this is the
correct protocol.
Note: There is a feature called AutoComplete that will complete the URL if there is a match in
your history list (a site that you have previously visited.)

. To see the address of the hyperlink, point to the link with the
mouse and the address will appear in the status bar. The status bar is located in the
bottom left corner of the window.
Hyperlinks that you have not visited are typically blue and those links that you have

Searching
The Internet offers an abundance of easily accessible information. In order to locate the
information you want, you need to understand the search procedures.
Certain Internet sites can aid you in locating information about a particular topic on the
Web. Computer programs at these sites are called search engines.
The sites with search engines vary in their approach to searching. These variances mean
that different search engines will arrive at different lists of Internet sites in answer to your
search criteria. Some search engines that you might want to try are:
Yahoo
http://www.yahoo.com
AltVista
http://www.altavista.com
Google
http://www.google.com
Lycos

Search Tips
The following steps can be used to set the default search provider
Searching for information on the Internet can be cumbersome. However, by using a few
rules for searching you can make your search more productive and useful by eliminating
unwanted information.
Notes
Rule 1: To search for a phrase (two or more words that appear together on a web
page), type quotation marks at the beginning and end of the phrase. Without the
quotation marks, some search engines look up each word in the phrase.
For example:
“Microsoft Office”
Rule 2: To search for more than one word that appears on a web page, but the
words do not have to appear together, type a plus sign + before the first word and
a space and a plus sign between the words.
For example:
+ “Microsoft Office” + “Front Page” (for Microsoft Office and Front Page
information)
Rule 3: To search for a web page where some words appear but certain words do
not appear, type a plus sign before the words that should appear on the web page
and a minus sign before the words that should not appear. After the first word or
phrase, use a space before each plus or minus.
For example:
+ “Microsoft Office” + “Front Page” - PowerPoint
Rule 4: To search using a “wild card,” use an asterisk “*” after a search word or term.
For example:
Micro* (to return searches on Microsoft, Microbiology, etc.)

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of web feed formats used to publish
frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts. These feeds
allow for personalized news, sports, shopping links, or headlines to be delivered directly
to your desktop.
You subscribe to a feed by supplying the reader a link to the feed; the reader can then
check your subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last
time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it.

Potential Phishing Site
Phishing is the process by which someone obtains private information through deceptive
or illicit means in order to falsely assume another person’s identity.
The phisher will use spoofed emails to lead the recipient to counterfeit websites. Once
here, the victim is tricked into divulging credit card information, account usernames and
passwords, social security numbers, etc.
In order to combat this growing problem, Internet Explorer provides a phishing filter to
better protect against these malicious web sites. Potential phishing sites will be identified
with the potential phishing icon
.
