How to document a URL

Used By: All In Use?: Yes

For example for use with/in an FMNH Website or when you just want to record a URL for reference purposes. Using a stable URL is recommended. These are sometimes labeled as "Permalink" or "Stable URL" on BHL and elsewhere. If the URL is also a resolvable DOI it should also be entered on the Admin Tab in the GUID field of the bibliography record.

Type = “Web site” URL should go in the Web Site Identifier field.

Adding data to a record automatically

You may validate a citation string against an external bibliographic resource and bring the parsed data back into EMu using the “Validate Reference Tool”.

Adding data to a record manually

If no online tool has the citation in question manual parsing will be necessary.
Add the citation text to the citation string field either: As it should appear in reports etc. As it was given to you. For all types below Book and Journal attach to the appropriate Parent. This will autofill fields on Reference 1 and 2 tabs. Otherwise go to step 3. Enter the rest of the data as necessary.
