LibGuides Author Manual

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

Adding Videos

To add video to your guide:

  1. Create a standard box and add a Media/Widget element
  2. To create a new widget, enter a name and paste the embed code from the hosting site (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, Alexander Street Press)
  3. To reuse an existing widget*, switch tabs and search the name of the widget you want to reuse
  4. Select the widget's position within the box
  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.
