Printing @ Sheridan http: //it. sheridancollege. ca/service-catalogue/printing/ • • • About Printing on Campus Sheridan offers a variety of printing options for students and employees on-campus: The 'Green' Queue: the majority of students and employees on campus will use the 'Green' queue for general-purpose printing, copying and scanning. • Web Print: simply print by uploading documents from a web browser. No client software or driver installation is required. • Legacy Printers: some printers, like those found in Sheridan classrooms and some administrative areas, are not on the global print queue and must be configured individually. Pay-for-Print for Sheridan Students Sheridan students are required to pay for printing. See Printing Charges, Top-ups and Refunds for details. Getting Started See How to Print at Sheridan for complete details about accessing and configuring print queues. • •

Network • . . . what is a network? . . . A computer network is two or more computers connected together to share resources. There are two broad categories of networks; Local Area Networks (LANs) that connect computers in a small area such as a building, and Wide Area Networks (WANs) that cover greater areas.

Internet • . . . what is the Internet? . . . A network of computer networks. The Internet originated from a network that the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Project Agency used to enable researchers to communicate with each other. • An important feature of this network was it's ability to continue to work even if a portion was damaged.

Internet • Standard protocals were developed, more networks added, and the Internet began to evolve into it's current form. • It's these standard protocals and ability to function continuously that makes the internet successful, because networks can be added or removed easily.

Internet • . . . how does my computer connect to the Internet? . . . Your individual computer needs to be connected to another computer that is continually connected to the internet. • This host is usually connected to a larger network termed a regional network.

Internet • Businesses often have their own hosts, but personal use computers most often use an ISP (Internet Service Provider). • Regional networks are connected together by high-speed networks called backbone networks. • These backbone networks are connected together to form a super-network; the Internet.

Internet • . . . who owns and runs the Internet? . . . No single person or organization owns or is in charge of the internet. • Each network connected to the internet is maintained locally by it's own network administrator.

Internet • However, several organizations such as the Internet Society, Internet Architecture Board and World Wide Web Consortium establish the protocals to be used and encourage cooperation and communication between networks.

Internet • . . . how are all of these computers and networks kept track of? . . . With a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that indicates the protocal, domain name or IP address and file location. • Computers that provide information to the internet are termed servers, while computers requesting information are clients.

Internet • Every web server (those that host web pages continuously) is named by a unique number (IP address, such as 206. 68. 137. 41) and usually a unique name (domain name, such as trantor. sheridanc. on. ca). • On that computer are files organized in directories. • The URL locates and identifies these files. More on this later.

WWW • . . . How old is the World Wide Web? . . . Pretty young. The World Wide Web was created in 1989 as a way for scientists at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics to exchange documents over the internet. • These first web pages were "just" text documents connected by hyperlinks (a trickier thing to do than it sounds).

First ever website April 30 th 1993 I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures. --Tim Berners-Lee http: //info. cern. ch/hypertext/WWW/The. Project. html

WWW • In 1993 the first web browser to include graphics was released by students and professors at the University of Illinois National Center for Supercomputing Applications. • Mosiac, as this software was named, began "surfing" as we know it today.

WEB BROWSING • Understanding URL’s • Searching the Internet (Safely) Many of us use networks and the internet on a daily basis to exchange information, but have you ever stopped to consider what these things really are?

WWW • . . . is the World Wide Web the same thing as the Internet? . . No, although the terms are often used interchangeably. • The World Wide Web is a collection of documents called Web pages accessed through the internet.

WWW • These documents are stored on computers connected continually to the internet and are displayed with Web browsers. • Web pages are connected together by hyperlinks.

WWW • Hyperlinks can connect pages on the same server or on a server all of the way around the world. A large number of Web pages hyperlinked together and maintained by the same network is referred to as a Web site. • While the internet includes the WWW, it refers more specifically to the whole network.

Understanding URL’s • UNDERSTANDING URL's (Uniform Resource Locators) • What is a URL? A unique address. • Components of a URL – Protocol • • • https: // http: // ftp: // gopher: // news: // – Domain name – Location of the file • Examples – http: //www. sheridanc. on. ca/admin/employees. htm – ftp: //trantor. sheridanc. on. ca/students/51 ad 2/assignment 1. htm – telnet: //jupiter. whitehouse. gov/WH/Welcome. html

Understanding URL’s

Searching the Internet (Safely) • Search Strategies – Select directory topics to find information on a general topic – Before using a search site for the first time, read the search tip instructions to see what search options are available. – Try to be as specific as possible when typing keywords. Wherever possible use more than one keyword and use appropriate operators (e. g. "AND" or "NOT") – If your search returns numerous hits, and you can think of more specific keywords, or additional operators, go back and redo the search. – If your search is not successful, try using other words that might locate the same information. – Use more than one search site or directory - they often return surprisingly different results.
