Using the Docutek ERes System for Online Sourcebooks
Contents:
Adding new documents or other files to your course
One of the strengths of the new system for online sourcebooks is ability for faculty to add documents and other files to their own courses if desired. To add files, use the following steps:
Once you've logged in to the system, you will see the Main Menu that lists your course(s) in the "Course Reserves Pages" section. Click on the course you'd like to add documents to.
A copyright statement will come up. Click on "Accept." You will enter the course within the Page Management area. Click on the link to "Documents & Copyright."
A "Document List" window will pop up. (Note: you must disable any popup blocker you may be using in order to use this system). Any documents already associated with the course will be listed alphabetically in groups of 10. To add a document or other file, click on "Add Document."
Click on "Add New Document."
A window will pop up with fields to enter information about the document.
- In the red "Title" field, enter the main title of the document. This would be the journal article title, the chapter title, or the book title if an excerpt is used.
- Click on the link to "Bibliographic Information" in the "Step 2: Provide Optional Information" section.
- Copy the same title information from above into the "Primary Title" field.
- Add any additional information, including Secondary Title (e.g. title of the book a chapter comes from), Primary Author (please use last name, first name), Secondary Author (e.g. author of book chapter comes from) etc. Use the Journal field if document is a journal article. FIll in as much information as you can and as is reasonable. Note that other faculty may want to include this article in a different course, so full information is helpful.
- Note: the Publisher field is currently not being used. The use of this field is related to a copyright funtion we are not yet set up with. If you wish to add publisher information about a document, please use the Description field, for the time being.
Once you've added all information, scroll to the bottom of the window, and click on "Save."
You will be sent to the "Attached FIles" tab for the document you have created. Click on the "Transfer File(s) to Server" link.
A window will pop up with a section to "Upload Files." Browse your computer to the file you want to add to your course, then click on Upload. When the file is uploaded successfully, you will see a box at the top of the window with green text saying "Success..." You can then close the "Upload Files" window.
You will then see the file listed in the right "Staging Area." Click on the paperclip icon to attach this file to the document information you entered.
You will then see the file on the left in the "File(s) Attached to this Document" column.
Click on the "Document List" link to add more documents, or close the window if finished.
To see the document in a list as the students would see it, click on the "Documents" tab.
