To publish a resource, log in and choose your role to be an Author. Then
click \textbf{CSTR} to go to your construction space. You should see something
like the ``Construction Space for Publishing''. Click on the
\textbf{Publish} button for the resource you wish to publish.%

\end{figure}
 You'll get a metadata screen that should look something like
the  ``Publishing Metadata Screen'' figure.
Fill out the form. If you are creating resources that may be used in several
courses, you should talk with the other authors and establish some sort of
standard title and subject scheme in advance. 

The \textbf{Language} is the language the problem is written in. The \textbf{Publisher/Owner}
is the LON-CAPA user who owns the problem.

The \textbf{Keywords} and the \textbf{Abstract} are more information about
the problem. The \textbf{Keywords} are words that are strongly connected
to your problem; for instance a physics problem about a pulley might include
{}``pulley'' as a key word. LON-CAPA pulls out words used in the text of
the resource for you so you can just click on their check boxes to make them
keywords. \textbf{Additional keywords} allows you to add any keyword to your
problem that are not actually in the problem. For instance, on that same
problem a physicist might add the keyword {}``statics'', even though it
doesn't appear in the original problem, because Physics uses that as a classification
of problem type. \textbf{Additional Keywords} are also useful when publishing
graphics.

Finally, you need to set the copyright and distribution permissions in the
\textbf{COPYRIGHT/DISTRIBUTION} drop-down. This setting controls who is allowed
to use your resource as follows:

\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Limited to courses in the domain published} means that only courses
running in the same domain as you can use your content. Talk to your LON-CAPA
administrator if you want more information about your domain.
\item \textbf{Free} means that anyone can find and use the resource.
\item \textbf{Private - visible to author only} means that it can't be used for
any course.
\item \textbf{Public - no authentication required} means anyone can find and use
the resource.
\end{itemize}
Now when you click \textbf{Finalize Publication}, your resource will be published
and usable (unless you set the distribution to {}``private'').
