My Account
A My Account An account, called MyTSW, is maintained for each TSW member. Authentication to My Account MyTSW is tied to your UT EID if you are a UT student, faculty or staff, or tied to your email address if you are a non-UT person. If you are an authorized TSW submitter or supervisor, or if you are a staff member responsible for a repository collection or metadata maintenance, you will have a My Account MyTSW section.
Logging In
You must log in to the system if you:
- Wish to subscribe to a collection and receive e-mail updates when new works are added, or
- Wish to go to the My Account MyTSW section that tracks your subscriptions and other interactions with TSW requiring authorization (if you are a submitter for a collection, for instance.)
When you access an area of TSW that requires authorization, the system will require you to log in with your UT EID and password, or if you are a non-UT person, with your email address. For authorization contact the Repository Curator.
Editing your Profile
Once you are logged in, click the Profile link in the My Account section user menu options in the top right corner to edit your profile.
Viewing your Submissions
Once you are logged in, you can click the Submissions link in the My Account section. Here you will findon the MyTSW section to see your submissions and workflow tasks. You will see:
- A list of your in-progress submissions - from this list you can resume the submission process where you left off, or you can remove the submission and cancel the work.
- A list of the submissions which you are supervising or collaborating on.

Submitting a work to TSW is a simple , but multi-step process. At any point in the submission process you can stop and save your work for a later date by clicking on the "Save and Exitfor Later" button at the bottom of the page. The data you have already entered will be stored until you return to the submission, and you will be reminded in the "My Account - Submissions" MyTSW section that you have a submission in process. If somehow you accidentally exit from the submission process, you can always resume from your "My Account-Submissions" MyTSW page. You can also cancel your submission at any point. For questions about mediated submission, please contact the Repository Curator.
