			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am getting great feedback on WebJunction Courses but we have also run into a few glitches here and there. So I have put together some updated advice and tips that make help you enroll and take a course.</p>
<p>1. Make sure you sign in and <strong>click the “Remember Me</strong>” checkbox. This assures that the courses show up at no cost and also allows you to move back and forth through the various areas of WebJunction without losing your “Maine Affiliation” or timing out.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mainestatelibrary/2797555976/"title="login-remember-me by Maine State Library, on Flickr"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.flickr.com');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3206/2797555976_e96fd6e6b1_o.gif" alt="login-remember-me" width="262" height="192" /></a><br />
2. Turn off Pop-up blockers. You should be prompted to disable pop-up blocking. Make sure you choose “always for this site”…it will make it easier in the long run. The sites to “always allow” will be:</p>
<li>webjunction.skillport.com</li>
<li>library.skillport.com</li>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2828137759_0f34c9ee6e_o.jpg" alt="Graphic of pop-ups" /></p>
<p>3. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mainestatelibrary/2868661588/"title="skillsoft-sm by Maine State Library, on Flickr"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.flickr.com');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3203/2868661588_a16079ae7f_o.jpg" alt="skillsoft-sm" width="103" height="46" /></a><br />
Skillsoft courses work in the browsers listed below (the <strong>latest version of Firefox is not yet supported</strong>) I recommend you <strong>run the browser test</strong> that SkillSoft provides: <a href="http://browser.skillport.com/bh/default.asp" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/browser.skillport.com');">http://browser.skillport.com/bh/default.asp</a></p>
<li>Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 and higher.</li>
<li>Netscape version 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 &#8211; 8.0.3.3, and 8.1.</li>
<li>Mozilla 1.6 &#8211; 1.7.13 on Windows 2000 or Windows XP SP2. 1.6 and 1.7.12 on SuSE Linux 9.0 or 9.1. 1.6 and 1.7.13 on SuSE</li>
<li>Linux 10.0.</li>
<li>Firefox 1.0.0 -1.0.7 and 1.5 &#8211; 1.5.06.</li>
<li>Safari 2.0, 2.0.4.</li>
<p>For a complete listing: <a href="http://support.skillsoft.com/customer/sp_client_techspec_combined.pdf" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/support.skillsoft.com');">http://support.skillsoft.com/customer/sp_client_techspec_combined.pdf</a></p>
<p>4.  For UNT LE@D Courses please remember that you will get an email from WebJunction with a usern<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mainestatelibrary/2868661574/"title="Le@d-sm by Maine State Library, on Flickr"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.flickr.com');"><img class="alignright" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3009/2868661574_a64269f810_o.gif" alt="Le@d-sm" width="114" height="32" /></a>ame and password. The courses are taken using the University of North Texas WebCT online course environment and typically take 1-2 hours to complete.<br />
Please perform the Browser Check, turn off your pop-up blocker, and say yes when prompted to accept a Java Security Certificate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Go to WebJunction Maine:  <a href="http://me.webjunction.org" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/me.webjunction.org');">http://me.webjunction.org</a> and log into your account.<br />

Please make sure you sign in!  You must be a registered user to enroll in free courses.<br />
<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3264/2766614752_9b100ddb60_m.jpg" alt="Logged in graphic" /></p>
<p>Take a look at this fun video on <a href="http://webjunction.org/getting-started/articles/content/4184659" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/webjunction.org');">how to sign in and set up your account </a>or <a href="http://me.webjunction.org/membercenter/userguide#create_account"><br />
just read the how to</a>.<br />
Once you are signed in, click on the <strong>Courses tab </strong>in the top navigation bar.</p>
<p>[Please note: there is a known issue with the browser, Internet Explorer 7. If you are having problems, try Firefox. If you need help, use the feedback button on the bottom of any MSL web page: www.maine.gov/msl/. We hope this will be resolved quickly.]</p>
<p>Browse the course topics and select one to see the offerings. The “cost” for courses should be <strong>$0</strong> now that you are logged in and you are at the Maine WJ site.<br />
Click <strong>Add to Cart.</strong></p>
<p>Under <strong>My Account</strong>, below “Affiliations”, you will see that 1 item has been added to the shopping cart.<br />
Click in the Shopping Cart area where it says (<strong>1 item[s]</strong>) or &#8220;Go to Cart&#8221;.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3076/2766618838_5c0aa77155_o.gif" alt="Shopping Cart Graphic" /></p>
<p>Click <strong>“Proceed to Checkout” </strong>button (near the bottom right corner).</p>
<p>When you sign up for a course,  the first time you will need to click the <strong>Add Address </strong>button.  Just ignore the credit card Information area; it should be “grayed out”…you do not need to enter any information since the courses are free.</p>
<p>The window to enter your address is a pop up, so you will have to <strong>disable any popup blocker</strong>.  I encourage you to disable popup blocking for WJ-Maine since the courses also use popups.</p>
<p>Please use your Library name and address. This way we can easily track use of WJ by library and also know what library you are affiliated with. Click <strong>Save </strong>and the pop window closes.<br />
Click <strong>Complete Order.</strong></p>
<p><strong>How do you start taking your course?</strong>?<br />
You can always access your course by using the <strong>My Courses link</strong>, at the bottom of the My Account box on the right when you sign in to WebJunction Maine &#8211; <a href="http://me.webjunction.org" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/me.webjunction.org');">http://me.webjunction.org</a></p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3035/2766618856_e3d6d79a36_m.jpg" alt="Launch Course graphic" /><br />
When you begin your course,  you will encounter some pop ups.<br />
The first one will be a Security Warning.  It is <strong>OK to click Run</strong>.  If you have additional security software installed on your computer,  you need to take extra steps to let your security software know that this software is not harmful.</p>
<p>Make sure when you exit the course you use the <strong>Exit button </strong>so your place will be saved.</p>
