*LibGuides Guidelines and Help

General Guidelines and Design Strategies

  •  Encourage discovery: promote both new & heavily used services.

  • Target both first time users and recurring users to the LibGuide.

  •  Make sure it is easy to navigate and it is consistent.

  • Provide quick access to the most important information.

    • Establish various points of access to get to the same information. Duplication in some cases could be suitable to target different ways of learning.

  • Do not try to reinvent the wheel:
    • Use some of the resources  and widgets provided at Reusable Content page located in this LibGuide.
    • Link back to our library website or other LibGuide where applicable.

  • Use the knowledge of our web experts [web application developer / webmaster or the  IMC specialist] for structure, placement, continuality, and technology in creating boxes, pages, sites or new ideas.
