A personal Stored Links library is only available for users with access to the resource-pool. To access your Stored Links either move your mouse pointer over your name at the top left of the page, and select Stored Links from the displayed dropdown, or select Main Menu from the inline menu and select Stored Links. This function provides the ability to save links to resources in the shared resource-pool or to links to external websites. Links are stored in a hierarchical folder structure, and must contain a title and a path. They can be stored in two ways:

  1. When viewing a resource, Stored Links is offered to automatically save a link for this resource.

  2. A link can be manually saved by inserting the required information in the stored links library.

Folders (which you name by entering a title) can be used to structure the list. Both links and folders can also be annotated, for example to describe their contents. Stored Links includes functions to modify the hierarchical structure within which your links are saved. To support this, Stored Links operates in two distinct mode: view-mode and edit-mode. The view-mode is selected by clicking on in the Function bar of the Inline Menu. It contains the following functions:

  1. Click to add a new link to your Stored Links by manually inserting a title, a path and an optional note.

  2. Click to add a new folder to your Stored Links by inserting a title and an optional note.

  3. Click to view and edit notes.

  4. Select links and folders via checkboxes to move them to another folder by pressing . Moving a folder means moving all content within this folder.

  5. Select links and folders via checkboxes to delete them by pressing . Deleting a folder means deleting all content within this folder.

  6. Click to save changed notes.

The edit-mode is selected by clicking on in the Function bar of the Inline Menu. It contains the following functions:

  1. Click to add a new link to your Stored Links by manually inserting a title, a path and an optional note.

  2. Click to add a new folder to your Stored Links by inserting a title and an optional note.

  3. Edit the titles (and paths) of links and folders via textfields.

  4. Click to view and edit notes.

  5. Sorting links and folders within a directory-level using the select-boxes before the title.

  6. Select links and folders via checkboxes to move them to another folder by pressing . Moving a folder means moving all content within this folder.

  7. Select links and folders via checkboxes to delete them by pressing . Deleting a folder means deleting all content within this folder.

  8. Click to save changed titles, paths and notes.

The links saved in your Stored Links can be imported into courses by accessing the Course Editor, selecting the Import tab and then using Import from Stored Links, see the "Inserting Published Content from Stored Link" section (Help).
