ORIENTATION
For a hands-on orientation to entering your own FEDS data, please email a copy of your cv to vetlib@pobox.upenn.edu. The library staff will review your cv to simplify your publication entry.
Since FEDS was developed the databases from which publication records could be downloaded have changed, and the FEDS import feature has. not kept up with them. Detailed instructions with illustrations are on the right hand column.
Here are FEDS publication import sources:
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
With changes to FEDS, you will likely have to add new citations to your public display manually. Choose the Expertise Output tab, then Select Public Publications. If you do not see the publications that you added to FEDS listed and do not see Select alternate publications after the header List of current publications, choose Switch to Manual. Click Add next to the publications that you wish to include, then Return to Selected Publications. You will probably have to use the Order pulldowns to put recent publications at the top of your public display, then check Set Display Order. You may be able to see a preview of how your publications will display by choosing View your Current Public Profile.
Detailed instructions with images are in the manual on the right.
