Adding a profile box for multiple people on your guide

This information is on the Libguides for Authors guide.

Books from the catalogue images

If a book's ISBN does not provide you with an image via Syndetics, there is another option.

1. Go to the web and find a viable image of the book - one that will hopefully have a stable url. 
2. Right click on the book image and Copy image location
3. Go to the Cover Art box of your book entry, select the Other radio button, and paste in the book image url. 
4. Save Book Info.

How to create an interactive image (hotspot) in LibGuides

• Create image in Word or other software and save as a jpeg file
• Ensure image is the correct size for your LibGuide
• Upload image to a test LibGuide page to obtain a URL
• Go to http://www.image-maps.com/
• Insert URL
• Create hotspots as required on image and link to appropriate URLs
• Copy the html code generated
• Go to the LibGuide in which you intend to place your image and create a Rich text/Dynamic content box
• Insert the html code into the plain text editor
• Enjoy your interactive image

Using images in Embedded Video/Audio box

I used the Embedded Video/Audio box to create:

a list of keywords I saved to the public gallery in Wordle http://www.wordle.net/

a slideshow of images I uploaded to Photobucket http://photobucket.com/slideshows

Create an account with these websites and then once the presentation has been created just copy the HTML code provided and insert it into an Embedded Video/Audio box.

Creating a photo collage

Instructions for creating a photo collage using Adobe Fireworks CS4 have added to the Managing your images page of the LibGuides for Authors research guide - see Creating a collage.

Adobe Fireworks CS4 is part of the Adobe Design Premium Creative Suite (get the whole suite, not just Fireworks) – see Adobe Site License Agreement for details about the JCU licence for this product. If you don’t already have it you should submit a request via the IT Helpdesk

Copyright and Flickr images

Please note that photos that you find in Flickr and possibly other "free" image sources are not necessarily available for you to add to your LibGuides without direct permission from the copyright owner.

In Flickr, images uploaded by authors/photographers default to "All Rights Reserved" unless the author changes that to one of the Creative Commons licences. This means that you do need to ask permission before using the images. Many of the Flickr photos have "Some rights reserved" and if you follow that link it tells you that you must acknowledge the photo.

If you have used Flickr photos please go back and check that you are using the image legally.

Informaworld logo

I chased up Informaworld and they have given us permission to use their logo in our guides. It has been added to the A-Z Template so if you have recommended Informawolrd databases in your guides please add the logo now.

Databases and logos

I have added nearly all of the databases that are listed in the old subject guides to a table in the (Abracadabra) Template guide as per the last LibGuides Committee meeting decision - see Databases. If I've missed any databases you need please let me know.
You should copy this content box into your guide then delete the rows that you don't need.
Feel free to amend the descriptions for your disciplines.

Location of "How to use this guide"

The content box "How to use this guide" on the Home page has an image of drop-down tab items that is 364 pixels wide. This means that it should only be used in the centre column which is usually 520 pixels wide (if you have 3 columns). If you use this content box in the left or right columns it will display OK in most browsers, but may cause problems in IE6 - we had one case where it displayed OK in the left column (though it was a bit hard to read because it was so small) but it pushed a content box from the right column into the centre column.
