Link to whole page

Over time we have generated a lot of generic content so it may be sensible in some instances to link to a whole page in the A-Z Template, rather than linking to individual content boxes. The following pages are probably suitable for this:
About the Library
How do I find computing guides
How do I find lecture notes and readings
How do I find special collections
How do I start my assignment
All Subject Guides
+ a few other How do I...? pages when they are further developed.

Please don't do this if you feel you can add discipline-specific value with your own content boxes or by tweaking a generic content box.

Here's how do do it:
1. Add/Edit Pages
2. Copy Existing Page
3. Create a linked page that always shows the same content as the original page
4. Select the guides that contains the page that you wish to reuse ... (usually A-Z Template)
5. Select the page you want to reuse ... (e.g., About the Library)
6. Copy page

If you link to a whole page you will not be able to add extra content boxes, but any changes in the generic content boxes will be automatically updated in your guide.

Alert services explain to users

Just sneaking on other libguides, and I found that adding a box (or tab) on Alert Services could be very useful and relevant for most of our libguides (well, not really for the libguides but for the users of those libguides). Three different alert services could be explain: Table of contents (eTOC), databases search and citation alerts. How about creating a generic one, and after that, we could adapt it to our respective subjects? The big question.... where users will find it? Under How to..., under Research, or Journal articles? My preference will be under Research, and as a tab. But this is just my opinion.

Some good examples:
