Library Entries allow for social interaction in three ways on the Library Entry page.
- You can recommend an entry.
- You can comment on an entry.
- You can add a link to internal and external content that is related to the entry.
NOTE: The options that are available to you depend on your site configuration.
User profiles
When you and your peers create, comment on, and add links to Library Entries, that activity is tagged with the contributor's name and profile picture (if one has been added).
TIP: Click the user name to link to that user's profile; right-click to open the profile in a new tab.
Recommend
You can click Recommend to recommend a Library Entry. The number of recommends displays as a link that you can click to see who has recommended it.
