Note: while this page is devoted primarily to resources for Lewis and Clark and the American Challenge, students should look on it as a clearinghouse for all the institutions they might use during their freshman year. Students are obviously the best judges of what is useful. As a result, feel free e-mail with any suggestions or additions.

• Technical Requirements
  
  Your Web browser will allow you to see most of the material on this Website.  The exceptions are as follows:
  
  • PDF Documents.  Some of the older documents appear as multi-page images.  You can look at these documents on the screen, but if you want to print any of them, you will need the Acrobat reader.  You can download this application from the Abobe Acrobat Reader homepage.  If you scroll to the bottom of that page, you'll see a three-step process for downloading the reader.
  • JSTOR Material.  JSTOR contains a vast collection of scholarly journal articles.  Although you can see this material on your browser, you need a special application to print the material.  You can download this application form JSTOR's Website.  Although you can print JSTOR material with the Acrobat Reader, the JSTOR application is much faster.
  
  Unfortunately, simply downloading these files onto your computer is not sufficient to install them on your computer.  Once you've copied the file onto your computer, you'll need to double-click the application to complete the installation process.  If you have any difficulty, please consult your Residential Computing Consultant.
