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.
