Adding Content to OswegoDL

OswegoDL asks for a lot of fields when you're uploading your work. Here are some tips on what information to put in which field:

Main Title: The title you gave to whatever it is that you're uploading.

• If this is flash fiction / other flash prose, put your word count in parentheses after the title like this: My Awesome Story (150 words)

Material Type: Unless your work has been published in a book or a journal, you'll probably want to leave this set to Other. 

• Specify Type: Here you can get more specific of what it is that you wrote.  Try something like: poem, novella, screenplay, short story, or personal essay.

Larger Body of Work: If your piece is part of some kind of anthology or collection, you can list that here.  Otherwise, list your course number like this: CRW 407

Creator: That's you! Enter your name as you would normally write it. If you have a co-author, hit the green plus sign so you can add their name in a separate box. 

Graduation Date: The year you anticipate graduating from SUNY Oswego. 

Publisher: If your work has been published elsewhere, list the publisher here.  Otherwise, you can leave this blank.

Related URL: You could link to your personal website / blog, your digital portfolio, a site where your work was previously published... whatever makes sense.

Publication Date: Today's date or when you created the work, unless it was published elsewhere. (If so, list that date of that publication.)

Subject Keywords: A word or phrase describing what you wrote about, to help searchers find your work. To include more than one word/phrase, use the green plus sign to add the additional keywords in separate boxes. For example:

• Dodo birds
• Romance
• Comedy of manners
• Espionage

Abstract: Optional field; you can put a synopsis of your work here if you like.

Notes: Optional field; use it for anything else you think people should know about this work.
