Add weblinks

Weblinks are another very useful type of resource you can offer on your resource center page. Weblinks are annotated collections of resources that can help people learn more about your topic.

By default, resource centers organize weblinks into two different categories: "general resources", and "cases & examples". Each of these categories of weblink will appear in a different area on your main resource center page. If you would like to add an additional category for your weblinks, let us know, but remember that your category name and type will have to be applicable to ALL resource centers.

When you're adding a weblink, be sure to tell users how this resource will help them learn more about your topic or work more effectively. Accurate, concise descriptions that convey why a particular resource is worth exploring will make your weblink collection very valuable to your users.

To add a weblink, choose "weblink" from the "create content" menu (right-hand sidebar again), or click here. Complete the fields as follows:

Title: the name of the resource you're recommending

Link: the full URL (http://www.thiswebsite.com) of the resource

Author: if the resource has a specific author, enter it here; otherwise leave blank. If it's a web page for an organization you could list the organization as the author.

Publisher:  If the resource is an article or document you can list the online (or offline) publication it appears in here.

Translator: Ignore this unless your resource is a translation.

ISBN: If your resource is a book with an ISBN number you can include this here; otherwise ignore it.

Rating: You can use ratings to indicate how useful this resource is likely to be.

Link type: choose either "general resources"  or "cases & examples".

Body:  Enter a description of your resource. What makes this resource or web site useful? Who should visit it, and why?

At the bottom of the page, make sure there is a check in the checkbox next to "Public" AND a check in the checkbox next to the name of the resource center you want this weblink to appear in.

Then click "submit". You can come back to revise or edit your weblink any time.
