From Profiles to IRL

How and Where to Go to Upload SelectedWorks into IRL

1. https://irl.umsl.edu/
   • If you select the Departmental Collections button near the top of the body of the page, you are able to see every department that is currently available in IRL
2. Select the My Account button in the header of the website
   • Log into your account if you are not already logged in
     • This will be the same login information you use for Creative Commons
3. Depending on which department you are working with, click on the Manage Research button under the department title
   • Typically, it is worded as ____ DEPARTMENT FACULTY WORKS (with the department title replacing the blank, i.e. Biology)
4. In the sidebar, near the middle, there is a button you need to click called “Import SelectedWorks”
   • Immediately afterwards, there should be a lone button labeled “Find Authors & Articles”. Click on it.
   • This process, as well as the rest of the importing process will take time. You can have this going in the background while doing something else.
5. Here, there is a list of authors associated with this department
   • Select the author(s) you want to import works from
   • Then, select the “Continue” button at the bottom of the list
6. Now, there is a similar looking list except it is all the works from the authors’ BePress profile
   • Select the articles you want to be imported into IRL
     • If you find two articles with the same name, look to see if one is capitalized. That should be the one that needs to be imported.
   • Then, select the “Save” button at the bottom of the list
7. Once that is done, click on the My Account button in the header of the website again
8. Under that same ____ DEPARTMENT FACULTY WORKS title, click on Manage Research button once under that title again
9. In the sidebar, close to the bottom, there is a button you need to click on called “Update ir_series”
10. Once this is done, update the “OA Project” sheet
    • Under either (or both) of the Imported to IRL columns, update the number that corresponds with how many works were imported with each person
    • Also, update the Status column with the appropriate status (typically AAI)

“I Have Works That Need to Be Imported to IRL, but the Department Isn’t on IRL. What Should I Do?”

1. First things first, do you have enough works needed to be imported?
   • You need to have at least 6 works that need to be imported into IRL before you should consider worrying about if the department is available in IRL yet
   • If you have the required number, email Lena to request to have access to said department
     • While you are waiting for this to be made available to you, work on other departments (more specifically departments that are in IRL)
