Subject Guide Template (new)

Add description of Guide's purpose here.

Highlight the best resources for your subject here. Try to include a variety of content types - maybe databases, ebooks, web links, etc.

Remember, you can mix rich text entry and other asset types in the same box!

Add a "Guide List" here.

The Guides you choose for this list will depend on the subject, but some possibilities are:

• relevant Topic Guides like Academic Integrity, Citation Managers, Grammarly, GradTrack, Data info Guides, Video/Tutorial Guides, etc.
• if your subject is interdisciplinary, include Subject Guides for other relevant subjects

Here are some tips and best practices to be utilized across all Evans Library Research Guides:

• Tips on links:
  • Always set target links to open in new window (especially mapped pages)
  • Add any new links as an asset
  • Only embed a link in rich text when necessary; try instead to add the link as an asset then "Add" it to the box
• Fonts:
  • Always let font type and size go to default
• Assets:
  • When adding content to Guides, always use assets and A-Z Databases! (The point of the asset collection is save time by having all our resources in one place)
  • Avoid copying assets unless the occasion requires it
  • Periodically review assets you’ve created and delete duplicate assets
  • If deleting an asset from a Guide that’s outdated, no longer needed, or can’t be updated, don’t forget to delete that asset from the master asset collection list also
• Images:
  • Use images sparingly
  • Only use CC licensed images
  • Always add to and use the image manager (avoid adding a single image to a single Guide)
  • Always provide meaningful descriptions in the alt-text box
  • If your image is an infographic or something containing text, provide a transcript and description of the text from the image as a separate file
  • to size image, use a percentage value in either the width or height box so LibGuides will automatically size the image according to the user’s device screen
