Help The FDIC Web Site provides many tools to assist you in locating and printing information on the site: 1. Information Categories The main navigation at the top of each page consists of seven categories:
a. Quick Links by User Quick Links located in a drop-down box at the top of each page list the most popular materials categorized by "types of users" of the FDIC's web site. These links are customized to meet the needs of each group. These listings are not all-inclusive. If you cannot locate a resource on a quick links page, you should try the site's main navigation or the search. b. Breadcrumb Trails Many of the pages in the site contain breadcrumb trails. The trail shows where the product lives inside the site's information architecture and contains live links to the higher level pages. The breadcrumb trail gives you one-click access to each of the pages it lists. c. FDIC Logo—Home Page Link The FDIC logo at the top left corner of each page is a link to the site's home page. A Home link is also contained in a list of links at the bottom of each page. 3. Search The FDIC provides two different search tools:
4. SiteMap The SiteMap lists every product on the website both in alphabetic order and by the information category in which the product lives. 5. Contact Us Contact Us gives names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, listed both by topic and by official's title. This section of the website also provides related information like Access to Washington, DC, Facilities; Delays in Mail Delivery; and links to Other Government Financial Agencies. Every FDIC.GOV page provides a mailto link to the official responsible for that page. By clicking on that link, you open a pre-addressed form that will be e-mailed to that official. 6. File Format and Size Notation FDIC policy is to publish Web documents in HTML. As a courtesy the website occasionally provides ancillary versions documents in other formats (e.g., Adobe Acrobat, MicroSoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and MicroSoft PowerPoint). The link to a file coded in an alternative format is accompanied by a notice giving the format, the file size and links to information about how to access files in that format. As a rule files larger than 50K are subdivided in order to speed users' downloads. 7. Printing Navigation/menu pages are formatted so that they will print all of a page's contents. Content pages, however, omit the standard header when printing. If you want to print the header on a content page, you will need to use the "Print Screen" command. All pages suppress background colors when printing. 8. Accessibility FDIC policy is to make all products published after June 21, 2001, accessible to people with disabilities. |
