Here's a list of the most commonly used content types:
- Rich Text/HTML content item
These allow you to add formatted text, images, tables, lists, and other rich text content to your guide. Using the built-in Rich Text Editor, you can apply styles and formatting just like with a word processor. Or, you can switch to the Source mode to edit the underlying HTML code directly.
- Database from your A-Z Database List
Although only Admin users can create new databases, all users can reuse them in their guides. This allows you to easily add links to related electronic resources. Plus, if those databases are ever changed (i.e. a new URL or proxy string), the changes will be reflected everywhere the database is reused.
- Link asset
You can easily create a list of links by adding Link assets to your guide. Once a new Link asset is created, it will be available in your Assets library so you can reuse it in the future.
- Media/Widget asset
The best way to embed HTML code (for things like YouTube videos or chat widgets) into a guide is with a Media/Widget asset. Once a new Media/Widget asset is created, it will be available in your Assets library so you can reuse it in the future.
- Book from the Catalog asset
Effortlessly create book lists on your guides. If you provide an ISBN, LibGuides will fetch the book's bibliographic info from Bowker and cover art from Syndetics. Once a new Book asset is created, it will be available in your Assets library so you can reuse it in the future.
- Document/File asset
Upload and create links to files in formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF. Once a new Document/File asset is created, it will be available in your Assets library so you can reuse it in the future.
