In the interests of allowing users with very large or small computer screens, poor eyesight, or wireless handhelds (small screens) to more comfortably view the Research Library website, our web pages use your browser's default font size rather than a fixed font size (i.e. 12pt). This page lists instructions on how to change the default font size for the most common browsers.
If you can provide us with instructions for a browser we don't list here, please contact us.
In the menu at the top of your browser window labelled 'View' there is an item labeled 'Text Size', which opens a sub-menu. This sub-menu should have the items 'Largest', 'Larger', 'Medium', 'Smaller', and 'Smallest'. One of these items should be marked; this is your current font size. Selecting a higher font size will make the letters on the website larger (and possibly easier to read), while a lower font size will make the letters smaller, letting you see more of the web page at once.
In the menu at the top of your browser window labelled 'View' there are two items labeled 'Increase Font' and 'Decrease Font'. Selecting 'Increase Font' will make the letters on the web-page larger (and possibly easier to read). Selecting 'Decrease Font' will make the letters smaller, allowing you to view more of the website in one window. Alternately, you can hold down the keyboard key labelled 'Ctrl' and then press ']' to increase the font size or '[' to decrease the font size.
In the menu at the top of your browser window labelled 'View' there is an item labeled 'Text Zoom' with a percentage in parentheses. When you select this item a sub-menu will open which gives you a number of self-explanatory options for changing your font size. Alternately, you can hold down the keyboard key labelled 'Ctrl' and press the keys '+' or '-' to increase or decrease your font size, respectively. Increasing your font size will make the text on the webpage larger (and possibly easier to read), while decreasing your font size will make the text smaller, enabling you to see more of the webpage without scrolling.
In the menu at the top of your browser window labelled 'View' there are two items labeled "Make Text Bigger" and "Make Text Smaller".

Increasing your font size will make the text on the webpage larger (and possibly easier to read), while decreasing your font size will make the text smaller, enabling you to see more of the webpage without scrolling.
