Creighton University BSCW Project Help Files

On Friday, December 16, 2000 we successfully installed a local version of BSCW at Creighton University. The system is currently in alpha testing. These help files are geared to assist you in the use of BSCW. Note that we are running the latest version of BSCW (3.4). If you find help files which are outdated (do not precisely match the screens you are seeing on the BSCW) please notify Fr. Bucko, S.J. and he will update that specific help page.
