Losing boxes (and box content) when you hide a column

Hiding a column hides but does not remove the content from boxes in that column. This is good news if you hide the wrong column. To fix, go back to resizing the columns option and unhide the column.

Note that to display 1 column only, you need to display the centre column so you may need to move your box to the centre column, then hide the left and right columns.

New additions to database links and lists

Database subset links have been added to the databases links and lists in the Generic Content Boxes guide.

• SpringerLink - Humanities, Social Sciences and Law   This link takes you to the Humanities, Social Sciences and Law subset of the SpringerLink journals
• Taylor and Francis Online - Social Science     Will take you to the Social Sciences subset of the Taylor and Francis journals. Disciplines covered include: Anthropology, Criminology and Criminal Justice, Gender Studies, Sociology and Social Policy.

If you want other subsets added do so or ask a staff member with write access to the Generic contact boxes guide.

New BZ1001 LibGuide

Campus Guides

The company that provides our Libguides software is called Springshare. At JCU we recently upgraded our software to the Campus Guides product. For your typical user and editor there is no change in the user experience or skills required to do your usual updating.

Campus Guides does open up a lot of new features to make our guides more customisable and allow more interactive usage, such as designing our own forms and surveys. We will be organising a Webinar by Springhare for people to find out more about Campus Guides. They do offer regular Webinars from their website but they are in the evening in our time zone so we will organise one at a more convenient time. 

In the interim there is plenty of information on their site to introduce the features of Campus Guides. Here are some ideas to get you thinking about possible uses for the forms and surveys feature. Contact a member of the Libguides committee if you would like to put forward your ideas for this feature. 

The Libguides Committee

If you have any questions about Libguides, such as how to do something or a great idea you've had for our guides then please let a member of the Libguides committee know about it. We meet regularly and will present your feedback and ideas at our meetings. 

The current committe is:
