LibGuides Author Manual

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

Adding Editors

Authors may collaborate with others by granting them editorial access to their guide. Editors can create content and modify guide properties -- except for publication status. Only the guide owner (or an admin level user) can change the publication status.

To add an editor:

  1. Click Guide Information in the Guide Edit bar and select Guide Editors
  2. Select an existing user or create a new editor-level account
    • If selecting an existing user, use the dropdown menu to locate the person's name
    • If adding a new user, click Create a new editor-level account and enter the person's email address*
  3. Click Save

*Note: The system will automatically send an email to the new editor with instructions on how to log in.

Tips for Editing Editors

  • Editor-level accounts can only access the guides to which they've been assigned as editors.
  • Before creating a new editor-level account, check the list of existing users to make sure the account does not already exist.
  • To prevent unauthorized access to your guides, be sure to remove editors once your collaboration has ended.
