Attention Faculty & Students,

All Microsoft office 2007 programs save files in an xml format; making it difficult to share them through HuskyCT. Students uploading assignments should save then in the 1997-2003 format.

1. o7 XLM files can be saved in the 97-03 “compatibility format” by clicking on the Office button

2. Save as > 97 -2003 format

3.To make the change permanent for every time youi save a file; you can change the default. Click on “options.”

4. Save under the 1997-2003 compatibility format. Click OK

A web site has been developed by librarians at the Homer Babbidge Library in Storrs to make it easy to find electronic reference books that have been purchased by UConn. Reference Books Online allows you to browse titles or subject to find a wealth of information traditionally found on library reference shelves. Many of these electronic books are only available to UConn students, faculty, & staff. If you have a valid NetID but are off-campus, please log into the Libraries’ VPN before accessing this page.

To find the page, go to the Libraries home page. http://www.uconn.lib.edu and click on Online Resources. Scroll down to Reference books online. Check it out!
