Types
With LibGuides 2, Springshare is providing several pre-defined "Types" of Guides, visible at "Guide Type & Group" under the little gear-like dropdown in the upper right area of the window when you're in Edit mode. For our public guides, we should stick to two types only:
- Course Guide
- Subject Guide
Note: you can also choose the Type of Guide when you first create a new Guide. See screenshot at right.
Names
For Subject Guides, keep the names short and to the point.
For Course Guides, use this format: [Course Number]: [Course Title] For example: ENG 3060: Women and Writing
If you need to distinguish between multiple Guides for the same course by semester and/or instructor, enclose that information in parentheses, e.g., ENG 3060: Women and Writing (Jones) or ENG 3060: Women and Writing (Fall 2014, Jones)
