General Help
The proceedings can be used in either of two ways.
  • Like a Book:The proceedings has a Table of Contents that lists all the articles available in the proceedings. Clicking on a title in the Table of Contents will load the article to your browser. Each article can be printed if you so desire by simply selecting File and Print from your browser's menu after it is displayed. Keep in mind that the authors have retained the copyright to their articles, so you can print a copy for your own use, but you cannot distribute it to others.

  • Like a Database: The proceedings can be used like a searchable database. The online proceedings have a search engine that can be used to search the articles based on key words. It will display a list of articles that meet your search criteria.

Searching For Articles

The search page allows a search for articles based on keywords. After selecting a keyword, click on the SEARCH button to display the results. The results are listed in the area underneath the keywords. After you have viewed the article, click on the back button to reload the list.

Advanced Users

If you would like, you can view the articles in a separate window. This makes it easier to go back and forth between the articles and the search list. This can be done by clicking on the check box marked "Use separate window to display articles." All subsequent searches will list the article's hotlink so it loads in a separate window when selected.

Search Questions

Sometimes after a look at an article, clicking on the back button does not reload the search list. What is wrong?

Most likely you have the "separate window" checked (see above). When this is checked, articles appear in a separate window. Either make sure this is unchecked, or look on your desktop for the window containing the search list.

I get a message that my browser does not support javascript. What do I do to use the search engine?

This is happening for one of two reasons.
First, if you are not using at least version 2 of Netscape, Opera, or Internet Explorer, your browser does not support Javascript. You can upgrade your PC or Mac browser by installing one of the browsers on the CD.
Second, you may have Javascript turned off. Here is how to turn it on.

  • Netscape: Version 2 and 3 Select OPTIONS/NETWORK/LANGUAGES and make sure JAVASCRIPT is checked. Version 4 and 5 Select EDIT/PREFERENCES/ADVANCED and make sure Enable JavaScript is checked.
  • Explorer: In version 5, select Tools/Internet Options then click on the Security tab. Click on the Custom Level Button. Scroll through the option list until you see Scripting/Active Scripting. Select Enable. Version 4 and 3. Good Question. In Explorer Version 4 as far as we know, you can not turn Javascript off. In earlier versions this was available, but since we do not have an earlier version to test, you will have to hunt for this. It will most likely be under VIEW/INTERNET OPTIONS.

Help with Copyright and Printing of Articles

What is the copyright on the Proceedings?

    Each author has retained the copyright to his or her article. Each author has granted APA and ASU the right to publish their article in these online proceedings. The form, design, and structure of the proceedings has been copyrighted by AICP/APA.
Can I print out articles?
    Under the author's copyright, you can print out an article, or save a copy of an article on disk for your own personal use or convenience. However, you cannot print out or save an electronic copy of an article for distribution without the author's consent. For example you can NOT print out a copy for distribution in the office or to a class. If you choose to use portions of a document in another document, please use proper citation of the original author and copyright.

Linking to the Proceedings

Are the Proceedings available online?

Can I create a link on my page directly to one of the articles?
    You can include a link on your web page to an article as long as the article is NOT displayed within a frame from your site. Framing any page of the Proceedings is a violation of AICP's ASU's and the author's copyright. It would be nice if you would provide some credit to the author for writing and providing the article and ASU for providing the article in electronic form.
Can I create a link on my page to the proceedings?
    YES!!! You can include a link on your web page to the proceedings as long as the link is NOT displayed within a frame from your site. Framing any page of the Proceedings is a violation of AICP's, ASU's and the author's copyright.
