Quick tip for not having to enter the online password for every freakin' clip art. ARGH!
This works for Mozilla Fox users:
To quickly retrieve clipart images for your brochures and fliers, try this method:
Once you find the Catch the Beat program for our state, select the JPEG version of the download.
Click on Download the JPEG clip art.
You'll then be asked the password. Enter it and then look at the left side of your screen for the EXTRACT ALL FILES section. (This is located under the Folder Tasks section of Windows 2000& higher).
Once you click on this EXTRACT ALL FILES, another window will be displayed prompting you to click NEXT.
Click NEXT for another screen. (Here I would highly recommend that you create a file folder where you can easily find the clip art).
So the next step would be to select BROWSE.
Then select MAKE NEW FOLDER. (I've named my file SRP 2007 Clip and saved this on my desktop to make life easier).
Click OK. (You may have to enter the password one more time for the extracting to begin. But once you do you should see the files downloading).
Voila! Your clipart files should all be in a folder on your computers. YEAH! No more entering the password.

Internet Explorer Users
Try this set of instructions offered by Janet Eckert of Western Region:
1. For most users, select “Download JPEG Clipart”
2. A small dialog box will open, click on “Open”
3. Next a WinZip dialog box will open. Select “Use Evaluation Version”
4. This will open a box that lists all of the “Catch the Beat at Your Library” clip art.
5. When you select a clip art file, you will be prompted for the confidential password.6. When you enter “OK” the clipart that you selected will open and you are ready to go!
If you are still having trouble, please give me a call! I'll gladly walk you through.
