The notes from yesterday's LibGuides Committee meeting are now on JustUs
Please check the new/updated content boxes (under #3 in the notes) to see if they should be added to your guides. I will be adding them all to the A-Z Template today if they aren't already there.

LearnJCU links to LibGuides

I have updated the instructions for creating links from within LearnJCU Subject sites to LibGuides widgets and content boxes - see LearnJCU

If the lecturer gives you editing access to the LearnJCU site (best option if you can manage it) you can add the links yourself. If you don't have access, the lecturer will need to create the links but you will still need to supply the javascript code from LibGuides.

Links from within the LearnJCU subject sites are the best way possible to ensure students find and use your LibGuides so please encourage your lecturers to do this. You can view some examples in the following LearnJCU subjects:
EV2360 (under Library Help)
BA1001 (under Library/Learning Advisor Help)
ED1401 (under Hello Helen!)

If anyone has any other examples please share them so we can all get ideas about what can be done.

Books & Readings: Search Tropicat

The Search Tropicat content box in the A-Z Template has been revised so that it:
- includes a search box
- includes help if needed
- includes info for off-campus users

This means that we no longer need the "How to use the Library catalogue" box because it's content has all been moved to the "Search Tropicat" box.

I've checked everyone's guides and your "Search Tropicat" boxes are all linked to the A-Z Template. This means I can delete the "How to use the Library catalogue" box from the A-Z Template and although you lose one box, you don't lose any information.

If anyone has any objections to this or has ideas about improving the "Search Tropicat" box please post it to this blog for discussion.
