Owner
The owner field will automatically show your Pennkey name, this cannot be edited.
Title
Unless you are creating a post from scratch, the title field will always be populated by the title of the webpage, article, or book. The title that will appear is the title that PennTags has imported from the resource you are posting. This field is editable so that you can change the title to be more descriptive if you need to.
Location
This is the web address of the resource you are posting. Unless you are posting from scratch this field will automatically be filled with the URL that PennTags imports from the web for the resource. This field is editable so you can change the URL to accommodate DOI's (link to DOI section) or to repair broken links.
Tags
In this box enter tags for your resource. Tags are descriptive words and you can enter as many as you like to describe your resource. Separate tags with spaces and if you are using multi-word tags join the words with an underscore e.g. instead of typing in New York type in New_York. For more help on tags visit tagging tips section (link to tagging tips)
