Notes for AOL Users

For easy reference, Print out these instructions

The Web browser that is included with the America Online software was developed by Microsoft and America Online. Unfortunately, it is not supported by our automation system because it does not include the automatic proxy configuration function which is required in order to access the Reference Databases. The same applies to the version of Netscape offered to AOL users.

If you wish to access the library's databases, you can download Netscape Navigator 4.7X from the Netscape Web site. Do not download Internet Explorer; it will not work.

The following link will take you to Netscape where you can download Navigator 4.7X

 

Download Netscape Navigator 4.7X

 

After you have installed Netscape, return to the setup page and select the instructions for setting up Netscape version 4.X for your operating system. The URL for the setup page is

If you have any questions, or need help at any time during this process, please call the Reference Desk at (610) 499-4073. We are here to help you.
