If you are working from a known citation, rather than from a search in an article search engine, you can use the Already Have a Citation, Try PennText link on the library homepage, enter your citation, and click the Add to PennTags link from the resulting PennText menu. Add the tags and notes you want and click the "Add" button at the bottom of the posting box. Note that by doing this, you are adding the PennText menu for your article--not the article itself--to PennTags. That way you'll be able to find online and/or print copies of your article whenever you need it.

Article search engines don't always provide stable URLs, so we can't add these URLs to PennTags. However, adding the PennText menu works around this problem. So, when searching an article search engine like MEDLINE or EBSCO MegaFILE, use the PennText button (image of penntext button here) to open the PennText menu and then click the Add to PennTags link at the bottom of the screen. Add the tags and notes you want and submit by clicking the "Add" button at the bottom of the posting box.

Because these article search engines offer the full-text of every article they index, they don't have a PennText button. To work around this issue, take note of the following options.
JSTOR (on campus) -- You can add any JSTOR article just as you would add a normal webpage. From the article screen, click the bookmarklet. Add the tags and notes you want and submit by clicking the "Add" button at the bottom of the posting box. Unfortunately, the link you create will only work from on campus, though we are working to improve this situation.
LexisNexis and Factiva -- Unfortunately, these article search engines make it impossible for us to create steady links into their resources. We wish they would correct this problem; sadly, there is no way to add an article to PennTags from within these search engines. You can work around this by noting the citations you want to add and then using the Already Have a Citation? Try PennText link from the library homepage. Essentially, you're starting from scratch with a citation for an article (see I have a citation for an article. How do I add the article to PennTags? for more information).

You can add anything from the web with the PennTags bookmarklet. (Firefox users, you can also use the tagging icon on the toolbar, if you downloaded that.) When you are on the page you want to add, click on the bookmarklet. Add the tags and notes you want and submit by clicking the Add to PennTags button at the bottom of the posting box.

You sure can. From the PennTags homepage just click on the "POST" link in the upper right-hand corner and fill out the requested information. Note that you don't even have to include a URL if you just want to post an idea.
