Librarian's Guide to LibGuides

Before creating a new guide, consider the following: 

• Decide if there is enough information to create a full guide (needs more than two sub-pages).
  • If not, does this information fit in an already existing guide and can be made into a sub-page? 
• Course guides: does the course need its own guide or does the info already exist in subject guide? Can it become a sub-page on subject guide and be hidden when class is not in session?  

For all course guides, if the course is not in session, hide course so it is not published. (change status of guide to unpublished)
