Enter labels to add to this page:
Please wait 
Looking for a label? Just start typing.

This form lets you add a bookmark to your Scholar Bookmarks collection, as well as provide additional information about the resource and classify it in whatever way that works for you.  Others can use your information and classifications to help them in their own research and studies. You can also add bookmarks to Scholar by importing bookmarks from your browser or other social bookmarking services.

Also, installing the Scholar bookmarklet in your browser (found in Settings in Scholar), will allow you to add web sites to your Scholar bookmarks directly from your browser, as you find them on the World Wide Web.

The fields on the Add a Bookmark form and how to use them are:

Bookmark Name: Enter the title of the web page you want to bookmark.

URL: Enter the web address of the web page you want to bookmark.

Description: Provide notes about or a description of the web page you want to bookmark.

Tags: Tags are single words or short phrases that are meaningful to you to classify a bookmark. Enter tags separated by spaces, and if you want to use a phrase, put it in quotation marks. For example, you might tag a web page about King Arthur with England "King Arthur" literature.

Discipline Tag(s): Scholar includes a comprehensive list of Disciplines. Select one or more Discipline Tags that are appropriate for your bookmark from the drop-down list of Discipline Tags. You can also just start typing the name of a discipline and Scholar will prompt you with valid Discipline Tags from the list.

Course Tag(s): You can tag resources by course, as well. Scholar will provide a list of Blackboard courses in which you are currently enrolled. Select one or more Course Tags that are appropriate for your bookmarks from the drop-down list of Course Tags. You can also just start typing the name of one of your courses and Scholar will prompt you with the Course Titles of your list of Course Tags. Users can only use Course Tags from courses they are enrolled in.

Status Public/Private: By default all bookmarks are publicly viewable. Selecting private makes a bookmark viewable only by you; other users cannot see your private bookmarks.  If you set the Status of a bookmark to Private, a "lock" icon will appear next to that bookmark in your My Bookmarks view.
