Want to link directly to the Brooklyn College Library Web site and all the resources the Library offers directly from your own Web site? Save and use our Library button image, and you can put it on your Web site as a clear and trustworthy link to authoritative information, help, and useful Library services. Here is all you need to do to save the Library button and make it work on your site.

Choose and save the image in the size you need:

1. We offer the Brooklyn College Library Web site button image in three sizes:

   Large	Mid-sized	Small
   A bold invitation to information resources	Saves on real-estate, links to the same resources	A compact size, fits beside text and other links

2. Point your mouse to the button image above that is the size you want, hold the mouse still over the image, and click the right button of the mouse (in Windows) / hold the command key and click the single mouse button (on an Apple).

3. A menu of options will appear. Point to the option, "Save Image As . . ." (in Netscape) / "Save Picture As . . ." (in Explorer) and click the left mouse button to select.

4. A Save Window will appear. Choose the drive and folder you want next to "Save in" (e.g., your hard drive, c:, a floppy disk, a:). Keep the file type that appears at the bottom of the window as "JPEG (.jpg)." You can keep the file name given or decide on a new name and type it into the file name box. Click "save."

1. Look at your own Web site using an Internet Explorer browser.

2. Click on View / Source. Your Web site document with its HTML codes included will open up in the Windows Accessory Notepad.

3. Locate the portion of document in Notepad where you want to insert the link to the Brooklyn College Library.

4. Insert the following code, with brackets:
   <img src="filename.jpg"> where filename = the name you have given the library image button

Choose a part of the Library Web site to have as a link for the Library Button:

1. The Library image can link to any part of the Brooklyn College Library Web site you choose. You can have the button link to the Brooklyn College Library Web site main page. Give those who visit your Web site access to the full range of Library resources and services, available from one, easy-to-navigate entry point. You can also have the Library button link directly to a subject area you prefer. All the subject areas (majors and programs) that Brooklyn College offers have Web sites to support study. Or, you might want to have the Library link on your Web site go to a single, alphabetical list of the most important, electronic Library resources. The Library Web site is the entry point to many useful resources. You decide where you want the Library link to go.

2. Visit the Brooklyn College Library Web site with your browser and click on the specific part of the Web site that you want. (Keep your own Web site open in Notepad while you are visiting the Library Web site.)

3. The URL for the Brookly College Library Web site main page is:
   http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/library

   The URL for the Brooklyn College Library subject Web page directory is:
   http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/library/electronic_resources/subjects.htm

   Find your subject in this directory and click on the link to the subject page you want.

   The URL for the Brooklyn College Library Alphabetical Title List of Research Resources is:
   http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/library/electronic_resources/short_dbs.htm

4. When your browser is displaying the Library Web site you want to have as the link from your Library button image, highlight the URL for the site that appears in the location or address box. Press the control key and the c key at the same time. This will copy the URL onto your computer's clipboard, a holding place for copied information.

5. It is time to switch back to the HTML-coded copy of your Web site that you opened in Notepad. Put the cursor in front of the image code that you added that points to the Library image button (<img src="filename.jpg">) and click at this point in the document so that the cursor will appear blinking.

6. Add this code: <a href="">

7. Point and click the cursor to position it in between the quotation marks in the code you have just added. Click control and the letter v. The Library Web page URL you have highlighted and copied will be pasted into your Web site document at this point.

8. After the image code (<img src="filename.jpg">), add this code: </a>

9. Your Web site will now include a link to the Brooklyn College Library.

Be sure when you transfer your Web site document to your server that you also transfer the image for the Library button you have saved, either on your hard drive or on a removable disk, to the server and into the same folder as the Web site itself. If you transfer the image file to a different folder from the Web page that you want to include the image, the image will not show up on a browser. You will see a question mark in place of the image when you call up your Web site.
