Note that two types of Cool URL tools exist:
General Cool URL Tools: These tools allow you to add a new Cool URL, view the Cool URLs that you own (and can therefore edit), view all Cool URLs, and access the Cool URL search function. (Note that although all on campus users can add Cool URLs, those URLs do not actually appear on the Cool Stuff page until they are authenticated by the Cool URL administrator.)
Cool URL Administration Tools: These tools allow you to view and add Cool URL topics and to authenticate Cool URLs entered by other users. These tools also allow you to run data scrubbers that archive expired Cool URLs. Cool URL topics are the titles under which the Cool URLs are grouped on the Cool Stuff page. Use of these tools is restricted to those users designated as Cool URL Administrators.
The tools provided on the Cool URLs menu include only General Cool URL Tools.
Usually, Cool URL Administration Tools are restricted to administrative staff. Most faculty members will have access to only the general Cool URL Tools.
