OR, if you are at a computer with word-processing, you may do this with word-processing. Put your name at the top, and label each section as you do the Exercise. Sample Exercise done in Word. (The Information Workstations in the Library do not have word-processing on them, so this applies only if you are working on a computer in a lab on campus or at home.)

• Frequently, an activity in the Exercise will require that you come back to this Web page. To do that, follow the steps outlined above (Cabrillo College Library -> Internet Links -> Culinary Arts). Or, use the Back button. If you're in the Library doing this Exercise, please feel free to ask the librarians at the Reference/Instruction Desk for assistance.
• If you are doing this exercise at home, or in a Lab on campus, add this Web page to your Bookmarks (Netscape or Mozilla), or Favorites (Internet Explorer). That way, you can get back to it easily. Also: bookmark (or make a Favorite) the Cabrillo College Library homepage <http://libwww.cabrillo.edu>

Need to review how to use Academic Search Elite?

Let's say you were doing a report and you want to find an article with a recipe and with images; your idea is to import an image into the report. In the Advanced Search mode, scroll down and click where you can limit the search to Articles with Images -- Text with Graphic
Now, type in your search statement -- e.g., recipe* on one line, and a word representing your area of interest on the next line. (Use the asterisk ( * ) to search for variable word endings: recipe* retrieves the words recipe and recipes.) For example:

Click on HTML Full Text to bring up the fulltext of the article. The little image of the camera indicates that an image (or images) are included with the article.

Information Workstations in the Library do not have word-processing software (e.g., Word) on them. If you are at a computer that does have word-processing software (e.g., if you're in one of the labs on campus, or at home), go through the steps given below to transfer an image to a Word document. When you copy and include the image in something you write, the origin of the image should be acknowledged. At the minimum, give the title of the Web site and the complete URL (you can just copy and paste the URL into your Word document -- highlight the URL, then Ctrl C to copy; Ctrl V to paste).

1. Right click on the image; scroll down to Save Picture As (or Save Image As)
2. Save the image. (You can save it to a disk, to an image folder, or to the Desktop). Rename it if you want. Save it with a .jpg (for photographs and images with lots of detail), or a .gif (other images) extension.
3. Go to your Word document.
4. Click on Insert on the toolbar at the top of the screen
5. Go to Picture. Select From File
6. Go to your image; click on it to insert it.
7. Under (or near) the image, type the word Source and include the title of the Web site, or other information about the source.
8. Put your name on top of the Word document, and print it out. You'll be turning this page in. If you are creating a Word document with your answers to this Exercise, instead of writing on the printed out Exercise, just include your image in that Word document. See Sample Exercise done in Word.
