Hi all, this guide works in two ways:
1. This page (tab), Creating New Guides, gives you the instructions for creating a new guide and special steps to make sure that your content maps to existing boxes and content. You can print this page for your convenience as you set up your new guide (it will be printer friendly if you click the Print Page link at the bottom of this guide)
2. The other pages (tabs), are the masters for the boxes that are mapped to all of our guides. No one but the Admin should ever change any content in the boxes on this guide because it will change the content in those boxes throughout all of the guides.
See below for all of the instructions, and see me any time if you have questions!
I would also be happy to create the guide for you so that you can just customize it after the fact as needed.

The Profile Box will be located in the Ask a Librarian page (tab) of every guide and will automatically load the profile content of the Guide Owner.
To edit content in your profile you must log in to LibApps, then select My Profile from the top orange toolbar, then you can edit as necessary.
Your image should be 105px wide and between 140-150px long.
Links for the library social media icons here are the URLs below:
The text below the "email me" button, which lists your title and subject areas, should be in HTML to make the job title bold and insert a line break before your list of subjects. It can be found in the Widgets section of your profile, and this is the widget code for mine: feel free to copy and edit for your own guide:
<b>Senior Librarian,Technical Services</b><br /> Subjects: Film Studies, Food Studies, Literature, Modern Languages, Music, Theatre & Speech

When you want to add new links to your websites page please don't use the Rich text/HTML choice. Using the add link option is better because this way the link will be saved as an "asset" and can be reused in multiple guides and edited from the Content\Assets tab in the orange admin bar at the top of the LibGuides editing screen.
Examples of mapped asset links below (with and without descriptions).
