What are these?
One of the great things about LibGuides is the freedom to design content however you'd like - but sometimes the number of choices can get overwhelming!
The institutions featured on this page have created great collections of tips, tricks, and best practices for guide authors. They remind folks about standard website usability principles, and include links to tools that can help give a guide a bit of zip.
If you'd like to share best practices at your own institution, please email us at training@springshare.com.
