Using LILI
does not require any specialist skills.
If you are
not an Internet user, you may find it takes a little while to adjust to
the constantly changing environment of the Internet, and the frustrations
that are often associated with new technology.
Your first
pre-requisite then is to learn as much as you can about browsing the
Internet. A good source of information is the magazines at the local newsagent.
However, the best thing to do is to get connected and start surfing
the net (browsing the vast pool of information available on the Internet).
This will provide the skills necessary to begin using LILI.
Hardware and software requirements
Because LILI
is based on the World Wide Web, you will need to have access to a computer
and the hardware and software resources needed to access the World Wide
Web. Suggestions for each are listed below:
Computer
the computer
must be robust enough to run one of the recent web browsers and download
files in a reasonable amount of time. For personal computers, we recommend
at least a 486 personal computer (or its equivalent Apple or Unix machine)
with at least eight Mbytes of RAM.
Web access
you will
need to be able to reach the World Wide Web, either through a network
at your place of business or through a modem connection from home. The
modem should be at least 28.8 kbps. If you can, use an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) that has a local access number so that you can avoid
long distance charges.
Web browser
the browser
that you use is important. LILI requires a browser that is both Java
and Javascript enabled. This option needs to be set in your browser.
For best results in LILI, use Internet Explorer
5.0 - 6.0+ or Netscape 6.0+. This site makes extensive use of style sheets (css) so earlier version browsers may not display the content as it was intended.
If you
don't have Netscape or Internet Explorer, you can download these versions
FREE from:
Netscape
Communicator - Go to Edit > Preferences. Choose Advanced.
Click on the Enable Java and Enable Javascript boxes. Click on OK.
Internet
Explorer - Go to Tools > Internet Options. Choose the Advanced
tab. From the long list of options find Java VM and from there enable
the Java compiler.
Click on the help button - on the top menu bar,
if you need help navigating with your Web Browser.
Flash player
LILI requires the Flash Player 5.0 to be installed in order to see the various animations throughout this site.
If you can see this coloured animation, the chances are your browser already has Flash enabled, otherwise you may need to download and install the plug-in from : www.macromedia.com
Screen settings
To view the images and page layout on this web site at their best, your
monitor should be set to at least 800 x 600 resolution and 16 bit (high)
colour. You will still be able to see the web site at lower resolution
and colour depth.
The Site map
A site map provides overall representation
of pages and links featured on this site. It may be useful for users who
prefer to locate items of interest without having to navigate the conventional
way, via the menu.
