Welcome to CampusGuides!

How is CampusGuides different from LibGuides?

CampusGuides is, in essence, LibGuides on steroids. If you've created content using LibGuides, some things should feel familiar, like:

  • The structure of a guide (pages/tabs, box types, publishing steps, etc.)
  • Basic steps for customization (banner image, colors/look & feel, etc.)

But in addition, you now have access to some new-and-awesome tools:

  • You can organize guides into groups, such as
    • Research Guides / Course Guides / Library Information
    • groups for each library (on campuses with multiple libraries)
    • groups for each campus / school of instruction
  • Each group you define can have its own customization, including banner image, colors/look-and-feel, etc.
  • Permission restrictions, which you can define by IP range / IP address, or by password protection.
  • Create surveys & forms to add to your guides...or put anywhere else (other websites or emails)!
  • Discussion boards are available for each guide

So take a deep breath, and jump right in! We hope you're as excited as we are to get started!

What is a guide?

Each guide can contain 1 or more pages, so you can think of a guide as a mini-website. Create guides on any topic, for any purpose.

There are no limits to the number of guides you can have in the system, so don't be shy - share your knowledge!

What is the structure of a guide?

Guides consist of pages (tabs), subpages (dropdown list from a tab), and boxes of content (text, links, rss feeds, videos, polls, widgets, etc.).
