Loading a Resource into the Engine

Drag the ALISS It bookmarklet to your browser toolbar, & ‘drop’ it there.

1. Highlight any text that you’d want to include in the resource description on ALISS

2. Click on the ALISS It bookmarklet

1. Make sure you allow this to pop-up. It appears with URL, Title, and description already there for you. Edit the title & description if need be

2. Add tags. As you type, ALISS will be looking out for suggestions for you to accept if you like them. But feel free to add others

3. Click ‘Save Item’ to …er…save what you’ve put in.

!. The form will save and then offer you the opportunity to record the geogr location of the resource. Use a postcode if you have one.

2. If you are noting an event, put the dates in, & times if you have them. Otherwise leave these fileds blank

3. Save item

In case the bookmarklet doesn’t work (some organisations don’t let staff install such things) then you can ‘add new resource’ via this link and this form comes up. But it doesn’t grab the URL, title & description though – you have to add those via copy & paste from the original page
