Creating a publication entry
What we would like from the AALL communityALL Practices:• Names of a small group willing to upload practices to do a final test
before we launch it to all AALL registered members
Bibliographical Data:• Check whether your publications are up, and if so, check all details, eg
whether the abstract is there, whether the correct search categories are identified, etc.
• If your publications are not there, upload them. As you’ve seen, this is easy and won’t take too much time.
• Add a PDF or URL if appropriate.
• Add your contact details if appropriate.
• Let us know if there are any search criteria missing.
