Rosario-BLC-UMass/Amherst: Hello. I'm a reference librarian at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I'm reading your question...

Rosario-BLC-UMass/Amherst: Hello. Which browser are you using: Internet Explorer, Firefox or other?

patron: internet explorer

Rosario-BLC-UMass/Amherst: ok, I ws looking in the Help Index for Internet Explorer and it says this:

Rosario-BLC-UMass/Amherst: Under "Clearing History List"

Rosario-BLC-UMass/Amherst: To specify the number of days that the History list keeps track of your pages

In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the General tab.
Under History, change the number of days that the History list keeps track of your pages.
Notes

To empty the History folder, click Clear History. This will temporarily free up disk space on your computer.
For Help on an item, click at the top of the dialog box, and then click the item.
