Quick Guide for Faculty
Static URLs
These are permanent links to playlists, or to CDs and tracks
which you may share with students or other faculty. Students
may share static URLs to specific CD tracks with faculty or
fellow students. These URLs are shown throughout the database.
Playlists
Playlists can be created for classroom use or student
assignments. Here’s how:
1.
Enter your faculty password (not case sensitive).
This
may be obtained from Kathryn Kalmanson at 410-543-6190 or
kckalmanson@salisbury.edu.
2.
Search as usual and select the tracks you want to use by
placing checkmarks in the boxes before each track.
3.
Click on “Add to playlists.”
4.
A window will open. Select an existing playlist or start
a new one by giving it a name.
5.
When you have added the selected items, click "save."
6.
When done, please be sure to log out so that other
faculty members may work in this space.
Sound Quality
-
"CD" refers to a sound quality of 128kbps; broadband
required.
-
"Near CD" refers to a sound quality of 64kbps;
broadband or DSL / ISDN required.
-
"FM" refers to a sound quality of 20kbps; suitable
for a dial-up connection.
When streaming hesitates or breaks, it usually means that you do
not have enough bandwidth. Press the pause button on the
listening window, click on a lower sound quality in the box on
the left, then resume playing.
For detailed information and brief video demonstrations, click
on the NAXOS Help tab and select "instructor."
