Any resource from the LON-CAPA network that you have permission to use
can be imported into your course documents, provided you are the Course Coordinator. All 
resources from the LON-CAPA network can also be imported. 

To import a resource, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}

\item At the \textbf{User Roles} screen, select the role \textbf{Course Coordinator}.
\item Select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
\textbf{Edit course contents}
within Main Menu. 
\item At the \textbf{Course Editor} screen, click \fbox{Published Resources}
at the buttom of the screen.
\item Click on
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{res}
\textbf{Import}.
The \textbf{Browse Published Resources} screen will open with a view of the
LON-CAPA network. Navigate to find the desired resource.

NOTE: If you don't know exactly what resource(s) you want, click on
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{src}
\textbf{Search}.
to pull up the LON-CAPA search interface.

\item Check the boxes next to the resources you wish to import.
\item Click the \fbox{Import} button at the top of the screen.
\item When selecting more than one document, you can re-arrange the order. Prior to insertion into the course 
document sequence, click the \fbox{Continue Import} button to collect more resources, or to cancel the process. Click the \fbox{Finish Import} button to add the resources to
your course documents.
\end{enumerate}

If you are importing a \textbf{Web Page}\index{web page}, 
it is important to understand that image/linked files do not need to be
specifically imported into a course, if used within a published file
which is already imported into a course.  The metadata for the imported
web page includes the dependencies, and import of the web page into the
course automatically allows students enrolled in the course access to
view the images as well as the web page which contains them.

NOTE: Your new resources will be visible the next time you log in, or by 
 \fbox{re-initializing course}.
