GMAIL SERVICE
'Google mail' or ‘Gmail’ is a web-based email service in which emails are stored on the
internet rather than on your computer. Internet email can be a flexible option as you can
access emails from any computer that has internet access.
Create Gmail account
In this guide, we’re going to show you how to get started with email by creating an
account in Gmail.
We are using Chrome as our browser, however other browsers such as Internet
Explorer and Firefox will look similar.
You’ll need: a computer with internet access
Step 1:
Open up your internet browser and go to the Google home page:
https://www.google.com.np/
Step 2:
You’ll now be in the ‘Sign in’ section.
If you don’t have a Google account, you need to create one.
Click on Sign in.
3
Step 3:
You’ll now be in the ‘Sign in’ section. Click Create an account.
Step 4: To set up your new account, Google needs some information about you.
a. Your first and last names
b. ‘choose your username’
It is the unique email address that you wish to use, which will be placed
before ‘@gmail.com’. Because it needs to be unique, Google may have to
4
check the availability of any name that you decide on to make sure that no
one already has it. Type an email name into the ‘choose your username’ box.
c. Fill out the rest of your information.
d. You will need to ensure that the ‘I agree to the Google terms of service and
Privacy Policy’ is ticked.
The form seems as below
5
Step 5:
After completing the form, click next step.
Step 6:
If the email name that you requested in is not available, you’ll get a message saying
that somebody already has that username and offering you some alternatives. You can
decide to accept one of the alternatives or type in another name and check its availability
once more. You will have to complete some of the other boxes again. You may have to
do this a few times. Once you finalize your email address, it’s a good idea to make a
note of it so that you can refer to it until you remember it.
Step 7: You’ll need to come up with a password so that you can log in securely to your
account. Google may explain that you should try one with at least 8 characters long to
be secure. Use letters and numbers to make the password more secure and difficult to
guess. You’ll need to re-enter your password to ensure that it’s you choosing it. This is
why it also asks you to insert two random words at the bottom of the page – this is a
CAPTCHA code. You can skip this step if you don’t want to type in the CAPTCHA
code but you will need to verify via a mobile phone if you don’t.
6
The CAPTCHA code box seem as below
Step 8: You will now have set up your account. You can go straight to your inbox and
get started, or you can set up a photo to show as your profile picture.
Click on Add a photo to upload a photo and select a photo.
Or click on Next Step to go to your inbox and get started.

YAHOO MAIL SERVICE
A variety of email accounts can be handy. It's great to keep a personal email that you
only give to friends, a business email that you only give to associates, a "trusted
provider" email that you give to companies you trust not to sell your name, and the
risky list—when you're just not sure who you're giving your name to. To manage these,
it's important to have an email provider you trust.
Yahoo! is one of the Web's most reliable and long-standing email providers, and it's no
wonder— it's free, it's fast, and it's easy to set up.
'Yahoo mail' is a web-based email account in which emails are stored on the internet
rather than on your computer. Internet email can be a flexible option as you can access
emails from any computer that has internet access – for example, at internet cafés –
anywhere in the world.

WORKING WITH GOOGLE DRIVE
The long-awaited cloud storage service from Google is finally available to the masses,
allowing you to store, access, and share your files on a platform called Google Drive.
Google Docs has been retired and replaced by Drive, leaving you with one place to
create and manage all your documents and files.
It is Google’s shared storage solution tied to Google Account.
Here are some basic steps working with google Drive
Step 1
Login into your Gmail account, after login it seems as below.
18
Step 2
After login, click on Apps .
Then the window seems as below,
19
Click on Drive
After the click, your google drive service will active, with the window as below.
Creating Folder
1. click on ‘create’ then ‘ folder’
2. Give the Name of the Folder and click on Create
20
3. That will add a new folder to Drive.
From there, you could click and drag a file into that folder. Simply by clicking on
that folder you'll be taken into that folder where you can see your files.
If you want to remove a file from a folder,
You can select the file, and click on Delete button..
Creation in Google Drive
To create inside the Drive, press the button create
and you have the choice to create a folder,
a document, a presentation, spreadsheet,
form, or a drawing.
21
Creating a document in Drive
To create a document, press the button create
and you have the choice to create a folder,
a document, a presentation, spreadsheet,
form, or a drawing.
Now Click on
Choosing the document, a document will appear as below
Now Rewrite the title of the Document in the place of “ Untitled document”
22
1. Write the name of the title and click Ok. You've then created that document.
Note:
You won't see an option to save. The reason being is with Google Drive,
everything is saved automatically.
Also I should point out that if you look at download as, you'll see the options that you
can download this file to your computer. This is a way of taking the content out of Drive
back onto your computer.

Collaboration
Collaboration is one of the greatest aspects of Google Drive. No longer do you have to
pass by email files back and forth between individuals. You can all work on them
together from within the Drive environment.
Not only can you keep track of changes and comments, you'll also be able to translate
the document into whatever language you choose.
To enable collaboration on any document, if you go to share, and you click:
1 2 3
24
You'll see who has access to that document currently.
1. People with explicit access will show here
2. You can invite more people in this section
3. Or, you can change the setting from ‘private’.
Before we change the setting from private, we will add someone to the document.
Adding people to the document and giving them the right to view, comment and/or edit
The first way to have people collaborate with you is to enter a name, email address, or
a group, and then choose whether they can:
a) edit
b) comment or,
c) just view.
If you want them to collaborate in an editing fashion, choose edit, and then add a
message (see Circle A), if you want to explain what the project is that you're including
them in.
Then Click on Send
a,b,c
A
25
Once you've chosen the people, you can decide whether to send a copy of the message
to yourself and whether the item is to be pasted within the email. And when you're set,
just click share and save.
This way of collaborating is private. There are, however, other options.
Changing the settings from private
If you click on change you'll see that you could if you wanted to:
1. have this document available publicly on the web, or
2. you could decide to go for anyone with the link.
3. Private is the option we started with.
Once you have chosen:
26
4. Then change the options from can view, can comment, to again, as the example, can
edit. So anyone that receives the link will then be able to edit and collaborate within
that document.
Once you are ready, you click save.
At last click on Save.
Publishing a document to the web from Google Drive
There's another really useful aspect to the element of communication using Google
Drive.
This includes e.g. embedding presentations onto a website.
1. If you look at a file and go to the tab file and click before going to
2. publish to the web, you'll be given to the option to publish that file to the web.
Click start publishing to do
27
so.
Once you've clicked ok, you'll then see:
• You could e.g. embed the code of that particular file into a website.
28
Creating a Form in Drive

and you have the choice to create a folder,
a document, a presentation, spreadsheet,
form, or a drawing.

WORKING WITH ZOTERO
Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is a free tool that collects, manages, and cites
research sources. It's easy to use and lives in your web browser where you do your
work. Most commonly, Zotero is downloaded as a Firefox extension, and that's how we
will talk about Zotero in this tutorial. However, Zotero can also be used with the
Chrome and Safari browsers or used as a standalone tool. Zotero allows you to attach
PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into easily searchable
collections for different projects, and create bibliographies using Word (for Mac or
Windows) or OpenOffice using any of over 2800 citation styles.
References can be added to a Zotero library in many different ways: directly from
databases, journal websites, Google Scholar or the library catalog, by reference file
import (for example from an EndNote library), by dragging in PDFs from your hard
drive, and by entering them manually
Zotero is a free, open source citation manager. Zotero works as both an add-on for the
Firefox browser (that works on many different operating systems) and (via the
standalone version) with both Safari and Chrome. Zotero also adds functionality to
Microsoft Word (Mac or Windows) and OpenOffice (Mac, Windows, Linux) through
a citation plugin
It
• Is a FireFox Add-on
• Automatically captures some citations
• Stores pdfs, images, and web pages
• Cites from within Word and OpenOffice
• Uses Bluebook (law review) citation style *caveat: it’s far from perfect
• Instantly searches your PDFs and notes
Install Zotero Standalone (offline version)
Zotero will run on any operating system. It requires Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or greater.
Installation only takes a few seconds.
32
To install, go to http://www.zotero.org/ and click the red "Download" button. Click
"Install Now" and follow the instructions.
If you see the message “Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software
on your computer," click "Allow".
Double click on
And follow the instruction.
Restart Firefox and you're all set! You'll see a small Zotero button at the bottom of your
Firefox window.
If you have any problems, check the Zotero installation page.
After the installation you will see the window as below
33
Register into Zotero (online version)
Visit https://www.zotero.org/user/register
It shows the window as below

Then very the account by clicking on the given link or pasting it into your browser.
This allows you to sync so that you can access your Zotero files anywhere by logging
into your Zotero account. Each Zotero user is given 100 MB of free Zotero File Storage.
35
Sync your Zotero Account with your Zotero Installation
Open Zotero, Select the "gear" menu and "Preferences"
Select the "Sync" tab from the Preferences menu and add your account information.
When you sync the first time, you may need to use the sync now button to get
the sync started immediately.
Citation and Referencing with zotero
Download the Plug-in for Word or Open Office from
http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation.
From Word, you can now access Zotero from the Add-ins tab.
36
Managing references & folders
Click the folder icon at the top left of the Zotero window to create a new collection
(Zotero calls folders "collections"). To populate the collection/folder, you can:
• Drag items from the center pane into the collection/folder.
• Click on the folder to select it, then add new citations. These "new" citations
are saved in whichever folder is highlighted.
Important Notes About Folders:
• Citations are automatically saved to your "My Library" folder. You can also
copy a citation to as many difference folders as you like, but the citation is
always part of your over-all "My Library" folder.
• If you delete a citation from your "My Library" folder, the citation is moved to
the Trash folder.
• If you delete a citation from another folder, the citation will no longer show up
in that folder.
Building Liberary
To begin adding items to your Zotero library, start by creating a folder or collection for
your items to go into using the “new collection” icon.
37
(Note: you can organize folders by topics, names of classes, a project, etc... - choose
something that works for you.)
2. Do a search in a database (for example, Google Scholar or a library database),
catalog (for example, OSU Libraries catalog or WorldCat) or website (for
example, Amazon or Epicurious), and click the Zotero folder icon on the URL
address bar to download items to your Zotero library.
3. A list of all of the items on the page allows you to select the items you are interested
in.
38
4. Notice if you are looking at the information for just one article, book, video, etc...you
will see different icons on the URL address bar. Click the icon to download the item
to your Zotero library.
5. The items you have selected will now be listed in your Zotero library along with all
of their citation information.
Setting your preferences / citation format / associating pdfs
Zotero works with an enormous number of citation formats. You can set your default
format from the preference menu:
If you would like any associated PDFs attached to your Zotero citation information,
you must select the box "Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when
saving items" from the "gear" menu / preferences / general:
