Getting Started with LibGuides

A guide is a webpage that you can use to add and share content. Each guide can be organized into pages, each page containing boxes of content items (such as text, links, images, databases, etc.). 

You can add a new guide to your site by either creating it from scratch, or by copying an existing guide.

• Creating a guide from scratch
  Learn how to create a brand new guide from a blank slate.
• Copy an existing guide from your own LibGuides site
  Learn how to copy an existing guide from your own site, which you can then customize as needed. (Tip: consider creating "blueprint" guides designed specifically for other users to copy, which can help everyone create guides with consistent navigation and content.)
• Copy an existing guide from another library in the LibGuides Community
  If you've found a great guide from another library in the LibGuides Community, you can create your own local copy in your own site. (Please be sure to request permission from the original guide's author first!)

How to edit your guide's title and description
Learn how to rename your guide and add or edit its description, both of which can help users when browsing and searching your site.

Give your guide a friendly URL
Learn how to replace your guide's default URL (which just contains ID numbers) with text, such "home" or "apa-citation", which can make your guide's URL easier to remember and link to.
