A TIP for Students
A Challenge for Some Students: Emailing Attachments
When students visit the library, I always have them email their work to themselves as a back up in case their flash-drive has an error or there is a problem with their "my documents" folder synchronizing.
Over the years, I have noticed that students often do not know how to email a document to themselves. It surprises me when they do not know what address to put in the "to" section.
*If they have a gmail account, I teach them how to create a Google doc.

Before you leave the library: Email your work to yourself. Here's how.
- Save your document to a flashdrive. If you do not have a flashdrive, save it to the desktop.
- Login in to your email account.
- Click compose email.
- In the "to" section, type your email address.
- Type in a subject in the subject line.
- Find the "paperclip" icon and click it.
- Browse for your file.
- Select the file.
- Attach the file.
- Send the email.
- The email with your attached document will be in your inbox.
*These are general directions and are applicable to most email accounts.
