LibGuides 2.0 Top Tips
Create boxes
(and pages) in
draft mode -
hiding them from
public view until
you are ready for
them.
Dazed and confused? Just ask Liz: [email protected]
Refrain from
copying boxes as
much as
possible. We want
to keep content
consistent. Instead,
reuse content.
The URLs for the beta site are
jhu.beta.libguides.com right now,
but will become
guides.library.jhu.edu on the week
of January 26th. When linking to
other guides, use relative links
(/refworks not full URL) OR use the “Add a Guide” content feature.
+ More reusable content in
the toolbox
New guide on “How to
find books, articles, etc.”
Philosophical and
pedagogical discussions
about content and
organization of guides.
More guidelines and
content standards to
suite the new system.
