Uploading Guidelines for all Libraries



Thanks so much for uploading files into our libraries.  We're pleased that they continue to fill

with high quality material -- due to your efforts.  The following are guidelines which will,

hopefully, make this process clearer for everyone.  Please read them carefully, and let us know if

you have questions.



1. All text files must be in Text format only (ASCII).  Because of the many available word

processors, files that are written in WordPerfect, Clarisworks, etc. may not be readable by other

word processors, especially across platforms (mac->pc->mac) and from one version to another

(a version 3.0 can't read a 4.0 file, etc.); we want all members to have access to all files.  



Most, if not all, word processors will allow you the option to "save" a file in Text format.  If you

do not know how to do this, please check your manuals, or go to Keyword-Helpdesk for

assistance.



Uploading in Text format only will also mean that you do not need to upload both mac and pc

versions of the same file.  



2. Please do not stuff or zip any files that are less than 100K.  Files less than that do not take too

long to download, and this will allow anyone to read files without having to decompress them.
