Links
While navigating state Web Pages you will find many departments use buttons to link the current page to a new page. You can tell that a graphic (picture) or text is a link by moving the mouse pointer over the suspected link. When the pointer moves over a internet link, the pointer will change to another picture. (The pointer when the mouse is moved over a link is a hand with a pointing finger.) Basically, anytime your cursor changes to a pointing hand you have found a link to another page.

Searching State Pages
A good way to find the information you desire is to use the state search engine. Currently we are indexing over 350,000 web pages and PDF documents.- First, think of words that describe the information in question. (Keywords)
- Secondly, go to the search page.
- Third, type one of your best keywords into the search box.
- Fourth, click the SEARCH button to the right of the box and wait for results.
- Fifth, the results page will show fifteen results at a time. If there are more than fifteen results, they will appear in the next pages that can be accessed from the top or bottom of the results page.
- Sixth, if you don't get the results you were looking for, press the back button (top left hand part of your browser) and start over with a different keyword.
