LibGuides Author Manual

Instructions, guidelines, and best practices for creating and maintaining LibGuides at Rutgers University Libraries.

Create New Box

  1. Click Add Box in the column where you want to place your box
  2. Give your box a Name, choose the Type, and select its Position in the column
  3. Select Draft Mode if your guide is published but you're not ready to share it with the public
  4. Click Save

Reuse Existing Box

  1. Click Add Box in the column where you want to place your box
  2. Click the Reuse Existing Box* tab
  3. Select the box you wish to copy
  4. Click Copy to create an editable copy of this box rather than mapping to the original (Note: you must scroll down to see this option.)
  5. Click Save

*Note: When reusing an asset, you must decide whether to create a copy or map to the original. Creating a copy creates a duplicate of the resource that you can edit. Mapping to the original means that the resource will remain linked to and be automatically updated with the original.

Reordering Boxes

  1. Click on the Page button between your guide's tabs and the main content area
  2. Under the Reorder/Move menu, select Boxes
  3. Drag and drop your boxes to their new locations
  4. If you want to move a box to a different page, simply drag it to that page in the left column
  5. Click Save
