Links to other web sites, or pages within this web site, can easily be added to a folder (provided you have appropriate permissions / access).
- be sure you have the correct URL (eg, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi for PubMed, perhaps copied from another browser window)
- go to the folder which is to hold this link
- select the folder's contents tab at its top
- select its add item drop-down menu
- select link, and an Edit Link form will display
- fill in the entries
- Short Name -- a file name for the virtual file within which the link will be stored, a name with no spaces or punctuation; eg, PubMed
- Title -- longer, more readable name, which will be used whenever space permits; eg, PubMed: Medline direct from NLM
- Description -- paragraph or so of explanation, if appropriate; eg, "The National Library of Medicine offers free Medline search via the web. Abstracts are usually available. Full text viewing usually requires access through someother, paid site."
- URL -- the link itself; eg, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi
