LibGuides 2 Training at QUL

This is a Guide to the use of LibGuides at Queen's University. It is 'in progress' at the moment and will continue to be built upon by the LibGuides Implementation Group.

Creating Pages

Please refer to the Adding Pages to Guides guide from Springshare.

@ QUL

Page Type

We are only going to need Regular pages. Ignore the other options.

Description

It shows up as a tooltip when hovering over the menu item. Should not be necessary if the page title is self-descriptive.

Position

It can be useful to add sub-pages for large guides. For smaller guides it would be better to avoid sub-pages.

Profile Box

Better to leave this on the front page of the guide only to avoid clutter.

Draft Mode

Useful when adding new pages to live guides that the public is already using. Another option is to clone a whole guide and make edits there and then publish the cloned guide with the same friendly-URL as the current live guide to launch it; the approach is better if a guide needs a complete overhaul.
