Announcing SelectedWorks upgrades

 

April 1, 2008


Dear SelectedWorks User,

Thank you for using SelectedWorks. We hope that you continue to enjoy the features of the system and the increased visibility that SelectedWorks provides.

In our ongoing efforts to improve the product, we will be developing and launching new features regularly. Below are some of our most recent upgrades:


SelectedWorks upgrades

Customize your aggregation page
In the sidebar of your aggregation page, (sample aggregation page) you can now choose to feature most popular sites from your institution, random sites from your institution, or none. Please contact Kathleen Cowan (kcowan@bepress.com) to change your settings. Available to institutional subscribers only.

Bookmarking
Visitors to SelectedWorks sites will now find a link on SelectedWorks sites, individual article pages, and institutional aggregation pages that allows them to bookmark these pages with their favorite bookmarking services (del.icio.us, digg, furl, facebook etc.). Please visit any site (sample SelectedWorks site) and hover over the word bookmark in the bottom of the right-hand sidebar.

Streamlined upload
The "upload a file" box on the SelectedWorks submit form has been streamlined. Previously users selected one of two boxes to upload a file, one for PDFs, another for other file types. Now there is one box for all file types.

Site wide advanced search:
Users can now search for content across the entire SelectedWorks universe. Go to The SelectedWorks Network page and click advanced search to get started.

Collect your bepress content
Pull all of your bepress content into your SelectedWorks site (working papers from other bepress series, dissertations, bepress journal articles, etc.) by clicking the "collect bepress content" button from your Edit My Site Page.

Improved copyright policy
Because some administrators build sites and upload papers on behalf of authors, we have added new language to our copyright policy that covers all content added to a SelectedWorks site.

Please see our new language in the following:

Terms of Service
Privacy
