How the Tutorials Work

These online lessons have been created by the Mentor Public Library to demonstrate the use of our website and other online resources. Please note: You must have Adobe Flash Player installed to view these modules.

Each Lesson is around 4 minutes long. The lessons are produced as Flash movies and should be playable with the current versions of most browsers. Browsers that do not have Flash Player may prompt the user to download it. Download times for lessons will vary depending on internet connection speed and computer speed. Downloads will take longer with dial-up connections and older computers.

Player controls allow users to play, pause, stop, fast reverse and fast forward.
