 Before you can add items to VTechWorks, Virginia Tech's institutional repository, you'll first need to create an account. This video will show you how to register for VTechWorks. To register for VTechWorks, start on the VTechWorks homepage, vtechworks.lib.bt.edu. Before you begin the registration process, it's helpful to choose the collection to which you'd like to add items. Start on the VTechWorks homepage. You'll see a heading that says Communities and Collections. Click on any one of these and you'll see the collections available within each community. Choose the collection or collections that seem best suited for your work. To register for an account, from the column on the right, select Register. Enter your email address and click Register. Your email address will also become your login name. You'll receive a notice that a verification email has been sent. Use the link in the verification email to login and create your password. Once you've created your password, your registration is almost complete. The last step is to email vtechworks.bt.edu to request permission to submit to the desired collection or collections. If no suitable collection currently exists, VTechWorks support staff will create one for you. You'll soon receive an email back from VTechWorks support staff informing you of the collection or collections to which you may submit. If you have any questions about registering for VTechWorks, email vtechworks.bt.edu.
