Tech Tutorials

Need to know how to perform basic (and some arcane) tasks on library automation software? What about remotely using GUI applications from rare operating systems? Or do you want to know how to make your e-mail program use a college address directory correctly? You've come to the right place.

MST

These tutorials pertain to computing at the Missouri University of Science and Technology.

• Access Your DFS (S: drive) account remotely - This tutorial will help you get files to and from the S: drive you see on MST Computer Learning Center computers.
• Set Up Your Minermail Account In Thunderbird - Including Address Book (LDAP) support
• Using Mentor Graphics Software from Windows computers - This tutorial is for MST Computer Engineering students who want to use the Mentor Graphics software (Design Architect and Quicksim) without having to go to the lab with the Solaris workstations that have keyboards with Control and Caps Lock in akward places.

Library

I wrote these tutorials in training my replacement at the Montgomery City Public Library, though many of them could be useful for other places that use the (now free!) Mandarin M3 automation software.

• M3 Cataloging Manual
• M3 Reporter Guide
• M3 Circulation Training Manual - This is the best of these, and should help beginners use M3 Circulation.
