Can I add (submit) KB records?
To which KBs can I add records?
To learn whether you can add KB records and to which KBs you can add them:
- Select Knowledge Base in the Select Service drop-down list at the top of any QuestionPoint page to go to the Knowledge Base module.
- Is there an Add/Edit tab next to
the Search and Browse tabs?
- If yes, go to step 3.
- If no, stop. You cannot add records to any KB.
- Click the Add/Edit tab.
QuestionPoint displays the Add New Record page. - Look at the Add To field in the Required
Fields area. It lists the KBs to which you can add records.
- QP Global Reference Network is the Global KB.
- Any other KBs listed are local KBs.
Note
The Add To field also contains:
- Your status options for each KB. Status options: new KB record
- The Make Public button for each KB. Public access to KBs
What should I do if I cannot add KB records?
Contact your institution administrator if you cannot add records to a KB.
If you cannot add records to a KB but others at your library can, your institution administrator needs to give you Add/Submit privileges for the KB.
If no one at your library can add records to a KB, your institution administrator may need to complete and submit your library's profile.
