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.
