Introduction to HRIWeb

Welcome to HRIWeb.org!

This article is for you if you're not really sure where to get started. We have several ways to help collaboration, and this article will help explain the different things you can do on the site.

The navigation bar on the left provides useful links to the main parts of the site. These links will take you to the Forums, our cross-disciplinary Glossary page, the Interdisciplinary Issues section of the website, and a few other things. To begin, there are four different items you should know about:

  • Calendar
  • Paper Database
  • my account

Calendar: Upcoming conferences and events are listed on the calendar; the next several events are listed on the right sidebar.

Paper Database: The HRIWeb paper database is linked through this page. Anyone registered with the site can add papers to the database.

my account: This links to your account settings; you can make changes to the information you registered with, track content you have created, and change your password here.

There's one more thing you should know about: the Create Content menu. When you want to create a new blog entry, event for the calendar, add a glossary entry, create a new page or article, this is where you want to go. Blog entries will show up on the blog listing. Articles can be promoted to the front page. Static pages are a useful way to help build new site content, which you can then submit to one of the site administrators.

There's also the Create Group entry. This will allow you to create a separate user group, providing a forum, and restricted-access pages/blogs for people who you're collaborating with.

That's the short introduction-- be sure to check out the forums and the blogs as well! Enjoy the site.
