Create Library Entry

A library entry is either a simple reference or a ‘Further Reading’ document. The SSWM Toolbox offers four different library entry types – each one with different characteristics. Choose the type that suits the document best and stick closely to the rules.

More information: Have a look at the online manual Create Library Entries for more detailed information.
