My Documents
-Buckley provides you with internet accessible storage space called a “My Documents” folder. Keep your electronic school documents there, that way you can access them from any computer that has internet access. On any school computer, the “My Documents” folder is an icon on the desktop. From any computer off campus (or your own mobile device), just go to:
www.buckley.org/mydocuments
-log in (it will say "File Way")
--simply click on the folder with your name and use the “upload” or “download”
buttons
to save or retrieve any files you want to store or access there.

Databases – Research Resources
Buckley subscribes to several online searchable databases specific to our main subjects. You can access these behind the subject buttons on the library web page. Several are “EBSCO databases” meaning Ebsco is the company that provides the data. While each of the Ebsco databases look the same, they search different material and they enable you to refine your searches more than a Google search. Try them out. Some we have include:
-Newspaper Source (behind all subject buttons)
-History Reference Center (behind the Social Studies button)
-Literary Reference Center (behind the English button)
-Science Reference Center (behind the Science button)
-Magazine Article Summaries (MAS-Ultra - behind all subject buttons)

Tips:
-Save documents when you create them, and, hit “save” often as you work.
-Never open a word document attached to an email and start working on it without saving it somewhere first.
-Save documents in your “my documents” folder vs. emailing them to yourself.
