LibGuides Training & Resource Guide

Sandboxes

• System Sandbox (HCC)
• Campus Sandbox
• Personal Sandbox
• Project space

Templates

• Intro to templates
• personal vs. system wide
• Do we want to have official templates for guides?
  • e.g. See USF's guides (side-nav layout)
  • Alternatively, see UMUC's guides (tab layout)

Tables: good for tabular data only, bad for layout and design considering mobile & ADA

Links:

• Hover vs "i ball" vs display
• target -- open new is not recommended (yet it is the default)

Box distribution: Less is more

• Citation guide
• subject websites

• LibGuides currently uses Font Awesome 4.7.0
• Does it add to the content? If not don't add it.
• Image Optimization (Google) or TinyPNG
• Image type? PNG is the preferred type for accessibility/UD, but may not always be possible.
• Tables? No-no for images and layout.
• Shared library vs. personal library?
  • Do you think image would be of use to others
  • clutter
  • Copy/Paste would still be an option, but to ensure reusability by others put in shared. That doesn't you mean you can't have a "personal library".
