Why are some browser controls missing when I click on a link to an external Web page?
The primary aim of sciLINKS is to take students to web pages that will enhance their understanding of a particular topic in their textbook. To that end, we have tried to minimize the temptation to wander off into the uncharted waters of the World Wide Web. We cannot at this point restrict them entirely to a specific page or set of pages many of these pages contain links to additional pages; also, students are free at any time to type in their favorite Web destination in the Location box of their browser. Some might argue that it runs counter to the spirit of the the Web to attempt to keep users where we put them. But, again, sciLINKS is meant to provide a more focused experience than the usual Web surfing. Students who are given wide latitude in their use of the Internet, and who possess the necessary skills, can use other resources (like search engines) to perform broader, independent research.
