Internet Connection

The time it takes a browser page to load depends on a number of factors, including the amount of traffic on the Internet at the time, the amount of information you have requested (large or complex searches take longer than simple searches), the speed that your computer can actually refresh content, and your Internet connection speed.

Browsing this website does not require a high-speed connection. A traditional modem rated at 28.8K or higher is sufficient, but at such speeds, you may experience longer than average wait times for pages to load. If you plan to conduct extensive searches on this website, or are an exhibitor uploading content, consider using a faster connection.

Resolution

Resolution is a measurement of how fine your monitor can display content. Using system software, the resolution of most monitors can be adjusted.

For the purposes of this website, we have made every attempt to ensure that content will fit properly on your screen when the resolution of your monitor is set to at least 800x600 dots per inch (DPI). If you find that you have to constantly scroll side to side to view content, consider adjusting your monitor to a higher resolution.
