Salem Public File Share (PFS)
Salem PFS provides permalinks to important files to make the latest version of each publicly available at a reliable URL.
How to Use PFS
Click on any tile under Browse by Folder or the row when using the Search for Files or Recent Files to copy the permalink of your desired file. You can paste this into your browser or use it for a hyperlink in a Word Doc, email, Google Doc, or on other web sites.
Filter by name, folder, type, or version.

How to Add Files to PFS
When you're ready to publish or update the published version, follow the Naming Convention guide below to export a copy for publication.
Naming Convention
PFS generates a short permalink based on the file name and folder, it uses capital letters, numbers and dashes between numbers like this:
"Academics/My New File is the Best 2024 - 25 v240725.pdf" → "a/mnfb2024-25"
"Folder/2024-another Example is Helpful - Yes v210101c.docx" → "f/2024ehy"
Version Tag
The 6 digits after the 'v' at the end of the file name should be the date of publication: 2-digits per year, month (01-12) and day of month (01-31) followed by a single letter to distinguish an additional export on the same day.
v240725 ⇒ July 25, 2024
v210101c ⇒ 3rd export on January 1, 2021
You may want to include your Version Tag in the footer of your document for extra verification.
