American Journal of Criminal Law SharePoint Instructions



SharePoint is how AJCL members share and preserve their work.  SharePoint is easy to use, and all members should be familiar with how we use this service.



To begin, go to AJCL.org or http://www.utexas.edu/law/journals/ajcl/ and look for the SharePoint link.



You will be asked to identify yourself when you click the link.  Use your UTEID user name and password to enter the site.  If your ID is rejected, you should email the Managing Editor (managing.ajcl@gmail.com) to ensure your UTEID has been added to the "AJCL Members" group.  You should receive a notification email when you have been granted access. 




As soon as you successfully log in, you will see many self explanatory features, such as "What's New," showing the latest work submitted, "Announcements," telling you if there's anything important going on, and the "AJCL Calendar," which may be used to inform you of upcoming BBCC sessions and other activities.  It can be helpful to glance over these areas, but the most important section of this main page is the "Documents" section on the left.  Note the three categories marked by the blue arrows: 




Editorial Documents




How to add members to AJCL

If you are the Managing Editor and need to add several members to SharePoint, the process is simple.  Click the "Site Actions" button to activate the pull down menu, and select "Site Settings."



Then, click "People and Groups,"



Ensure you are modifying membership in the "AJCL Members" group (UT has automatically added numerous other groups).  By default, AJCL Members should be highlighted on the left as marked below.  Click "New" to activate the dropdown menu and select "Add Users."  You can also remove members via the "Actions" drop down menu.



From there, you will reach the "add user" screen.



Click OK when you're done.
