Getting Started

2020 | By Trisha Crank | Filed in: Orientation Materials.

Staying connected is a vital part of this practicum. We use this WordPress blog, Teams, and Zoom to communicate. You will also need to create a Bepress profile site for yourself (instructions for that are here).

Lena should have helped set you an account on this blog, and invited you to Teams during your orientation.

It can be helpful to download the Teams app onto your smartphone and sign in to receive updates when you are away from your computer, but you do not have to. Once you have familiarized yourself with the blog, save the Discovery System, a copy of the Open Access Checker, and the Selected Works page to your bookmarks for quick access while working. Links to these can be found in the Terminology blog entry.

When beginning a working session, note the time and open your activity log to update as necessary. Log into Teams and change your status to “available” and read any updates and respond to messages.
