Front end location
On the front end, the e-resources page will generally appear in the top header and have its own dedicated section on the homepage. The exact wording may vary depending on your library, but generally, look for 'Resources.'
Note: You can also use the search function and type in 'e-resources'.
Changing/updating the name of an e-resource
Whenever the title of an e-resource changes, it is essential to regenerate the slug to match the new title. This ensures the URL aligns with the e-resource's name, preventing any potential confusion for users.
Adding tags
Ensure that all eResources are tagged appropriately so users can more easily find and filter through the content.
Note: Make sure to set tags for both audience and eResource as they are seperate tags.
Sorting and layouts
Clicking the settings cogwheel on the left-hand side provides options to organize e-resources by grouping, filtering, sorting, and searching.
Saving this page as a shortcut
If this is a frequently visited page, consider adding it as a shortcut.
To add a shortcut, click on the account menu in the top right and select 'Create a Shortcut'.
