Obtaining an AccountWhen first visiting the site, you will need to register to obtain access to the site tools. You can do this by clicking on the 'New User?' link in the login portal of the Welcome page. Fill out your fullname, requested username, and email address. If you are experiencing difficulties with the site, please send an email to creme@vanderbilt.edu Navigating the SiteOnce you have logged into the site, you have a number of ways to navigate through the site. Underneath the header, you will find the Log In and Location Information. Underneath the Location Information, the site is split into two columns, where the left provides a tools portal and an additional navigation portal, and the right column displays the main content. To access your member area, click on the My Folder link to the right of your name in the top strip. If you do not see your name, or the My Folder link, you have not been properly authenticated.

If you wish to have a document be visible in the search box, you must use the 'submit for publication' option of the 'state' menu. Once a site administrator approves the item, it will become fully public and visible in the searches. This feature may be useful for displaying samples of environments which you want to share. Running the ToolsOnce you have logged into the site and have navigated to your member area, you will find links to the CREME tools contained in portals in the left column.
