Abstract:
Are you Googleable?

The Wyoming Scholars Repository (WySR) has been developed by UW Libraries to promote faculty scholarship. WySR http://repository.uwyo.edu/

Do you find yourself asking…

How can I develop a national and international presence?

What can I do to receive invitations to speak at conferences or referee for international journals?

When others can find your scholarship online they are more likely to recognize your expertise and want to network with you.

Full text articles in WySR are searchable through Google, bringing web traffic to you. WySR makes you “Googleable”!

Bring your laptop and get started.

Description:
I will give a 20 min. presentation and then a 40min. demonstration of how to get started. I will also be holding workshops in the library every month for those that need more assistance.

During my presentation I will provide an overview of WySR and the related UW Library services. This will include the 3 sides to the WySR platform (storage, author pages, and electronic publications) and examples of UW content currently in the repository. Then I will focus on the benefits to faculty in using WySR and how it gives them more reach for their research and connects up to social media. Finally, I will provide a 40 min. hands on display guiding attendees in how to get started in creating a SelectedWorks author page.
