Before you begin conducting in-depth Web searches, it is important to know how to save Web sites that you find for future reference. This process is called "bookmarking." When you are conducting a search on the Internet, you may find Web sites you would like to explore at a later date. Bookmarking allows you to quickly return to a site without searching or remembering the address. The following page highlights how to bookmark using Microsoft's Internet Explorer^® (Internet Explorer^®).

Save Your Favorites Using Internet Explorer^®

A majority of Internet users access the Web with Internet Explorer®, which utilizes a feature called Favorites to save Web sites. Below we highlight the steps this program uses to bookmark. (Please note this process may be different if you are using an alternate Web browser.)

Step 1

Stay on or go to the Web page that you'd like to add to your Favorites list.

Step 2

Click on Favorites, located in two different places near the top of your Explorer window. Choose either one.

Step 3

An add Favorite box will appear. Decide whether you want to keep the name of the page as it appears in the box, or rename it to be something you will remember easily. When you are finished, click OK.

The next time you want to refer to this Web page, simply click on favorites and then click on your desired link.

Other Ways to Add Favorites

1. Add the page you are viewing from your keyboard by pressing CTRL+D.
2. Click on the Web link's icon and then drag it to the Favorites star icon.

Use whichever method is most comfortable for you. For detailed information about using Favorites, go to Microsoft's instructions at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/basics/default.mspx.⁴
