File naming conventions are a system of file naming that allows for easy identification/organization of files. In WyoScholar, file names are visible to users, so it is important that they follow file naming conventions.
WyoScholar file names include a prefix that identifies where the material lives, a four letter course code that identifies the department it's most associated with (this can be found in the Department field when you submit your paper), the year, the name of the author, and the type of material being submitted (which allows for multiple files to be submitted as part of the same record.
Put together, a sample file name may look like:
STUW_PlanB_COJO_2014_Miller_Sophie_paper
For multiple files, it might look like:
STUW_PlanB_COJO_2014_Miller_Sophie_paper
STUW_PlanB_COJO_2014_Miller_Sophie_slides
STUW_PlanB_COJO_2014_Miller_Sophie_appendix
For WyoScholar, please use the below template, replacing anything in brackets [] with the appropriate information:
STUW_PlanB_[courseCode]_[year]_[lastName]_[firstName]_[contentType]
